German car producer BMW recalls on Tuesday 119,000 cars of X3 and X4 models, after problems with the Isofix anchorage for child safety seats were found.

 

德国汽车制造商宝马周二宣布召回119000辆X3和X4车型，这两种车型的儿童安全座椅固定装置存在问题。

 

The four fixing brackets in the back seat could break, so that a retention¹ effect should no longer be guaranteed in an accident, according to media reports.

 

Affected² vehicles are the X3 models from the year 2010 and the X4 models from the year 2014.

 

According to a BMW spokesperson, there has been so far no casualties report caused by this defect, and it is just a precautionary step.

 

Affected vehicle owners will be contacted and they can then make an appointment with the workshop to solve the problem within about an hour.

 

Isofix, designed to secure a maximum combined weight of 33 kg, is an international standard for attachment³ points for child safety seats in passenger cars.
