BMW must recall 246 X7s produced between January 4, 2019, and February 3, 2022, because of a manufacturing error in the production of the SUV’s third-row seat.
Although the issue affects a small number of vehicles, just one percent of which are expected to actually exhibit the fault, the 2019-2022 X7 xDrive40i, xDrive50i, and the X7 M50i are all included in this recall.
