BMW top child seat tether anchor on the rear middle seat may not be readily accessible.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the tether connector/clip. Here is what owners need to know.
The top child seat tether anchor on the rear middle seat may not be readily accessible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, Section 6.1(b) "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
A child restraint system placed on the vehicle's rear middle seat without utilizing the three-point safety belt, could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will install a top tether anchor cover at the rear middle seating position, free of charge.
