What NHTSA recorded

Possible consequence

A head restraint without a locking tab may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the second-row outboard seat head restraint guide sleeves, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 31, 2023. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
