What is being recalled
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2019 BMW X6 sDrive35i, X6 xDrive35i, X6 xDrive50i and X6M vehicles. The rear upper control arm pivot bolts may have been improperly hardened, possibly causing the rear upper control arms to break.
Why it is dangerous
If a rear upper control arm breaks, it can affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
All affected vehicles remain on dealer lots, therefore owner letters will not be mailed. BMW dealers will replace both rear upper control arms, free of charge. The recall began September 21, 2018. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-680 when calling a dealer.
