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.

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

Affected 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 attachment points for child safety seats in passenger cars.
