2018 BMW X6 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 BMW X6 has 6 recalls, the most serious involving wheels that can detach while driving and front suspension control arms that can break, either of which can cause sudden loss of vehicle control. Two related issues affect the wheels and underbody: wheel bolts may not have been torqued to spec and can loosen or break, allowing a wheel to separate from the vehicle and potentially strike other cars or bystanders. On the suspension side, the pivot bolt on the front lower-left control arm may not hold properly, causing the arm to fracture and leaving the driver with little ability to steer or control the vehicle. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the wheel bolt issue, which is why it appears across more than one recall here. There is also a child restraint concern: the lower anchor bars used to secure rigid ISOFIX-style child seats can degrade over time, reducing their ability to hold the seat securely in a crash. Rounding out the list, the backup camera on certain vehicles may fail to display an image when reversing, reducing visibility behind the vehicle.
