Due to faulty rear-most screws, the screw fixings of the boot’s lashing rails can fail in the event of a rear-end collision with heavy intrusion, and penetrate the backs of the rear seats. This increases the risk of injury to the occupants of the rear seats.
The Alpina XD3 vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 21 December 2016 and 27 June 2024.
