We encourage all Service Advisors to address customers of affected vehicles who may carry young children, whenever these customers visit your dealership. You should take the time to point out BMW's policy on the subject, and offer to apply the applicable new warning labels in the specified locations. Also, you should offer to provide and explain the Safety Tips reference card. Furthermore, you should offer to relocate the child seat to conform with BMW's recommendations, if needed.
