BMW issues recall of over 3,000 vehicles over serious safety risks
- Replies 3
Safety is paramount, especially when it comes to the vehicles we trust to carry us and our loved ones from point A to point B.
That's why it's crucial to stay informed about any recalls that may affect your car. For those driving a BMW X3, it's time to pay close attention.
BMW has issued an urgent recall for more than 3,000 examples of its X3 model, which includes the X3 M and Alpina XD3 variants.
The reason behind this recall is a defective part within the cabin that could pose a serious risk to passengers.
According to the recall notice, 'The attachment for the interior cargo rail may become damaged in the event of an extreme rear impact.'
‘This could result in the interior cargo rail detaching from the vehicle.’
‘If the interior cargo rail detaches from the vehicle, it can increase the risk of serious injury to vehicle passengers.’
This recall is particularly noteworthy as it follows an earlier recall from August, which affected over 26,000 X3s.
The company has identified that the rear cargo rail attachment bolts need replacing with new, more robust items. This repair will be carried out at no cost to the owner.
The affected vehicles were built between 2017 and 2024, and a total of 3,313 vehicles are included in this recall.
If you're wondering whether your BMW X3 is one of those affected, you'll need to check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
A list of the VINs for the recalled vehicles is available here, and it is recommend checking this list or contact your local BMW dealership for assistance.
BMW Australia has set up a recall hotline for any further questions: 1800 243 675.
This comes after LDV Australia issued a recall for 4,785 examples of the LDV D90 due to a manufacturing defect.
The defect involved a T-Piece connector in the coolant pipes that may fail, leading to a coolant leak, engine overheating, and potential vehicle stalling.
