BMW X3 recalled

BMW is recalling more than 3000 examples of its X3 – including the hotter X3 M and Alpina XD3 – due to a defective part inside the cabin.

“The attachment for the interior cargo rail may become damaged in the event of an extreme rear impact,” the company says in its recall notice.

“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 is a follow-up to an earlier recall of over 26,000 X3s from back in August.

BMW says owners who had their vehicle rectified under this earlier recall must still contact a BMW dealership to have the rear cargo rail attachment bolts replaced with new items, free of charge.
