The receiver audio module in your vehicle is the brain of your car's audio system. It's also responsible for reminding you to buckle your seatbelt. In some 2019-2022 models, the software in this module can fail to remind you to fasten your seatbelt. If this happens, you won't hear the usual seatbelt reminder chime. This increases the risk of injury in a crash because you might forget to buckle up. Your BMW dealer will update the software in the receiver audio module for free. This is a quick, free repair that you should schedule after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2023 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) in your seat belt is a safety feature that helps keep the webbing tight during a crash. In some 2021 models, this feature might not work as intended, allowing the webbing to move freely before the seatbelt locks. If you're in a crash and your seatbelt retractor fails, the seatbelt won't lock and could cause you to move forward and hit the dashboard or other objects in the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. Your authorized BMW or MINI dealer will inspect the seatbelt retractor and replace it with a new one if necessary, all at no cost to you. You'll get a recall notice after confirming availability with your dealer, but you can also contact the dealer to schedule the repair. This timing describes the original 2021 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.

The power window control system in your 228i, 228i xDrive, or M235i xDrive is the part that handles the sunroof and windows. In some cases, it can keep the sunroof closed even after you've turned off the engine and locked the vehicle. If the sunroof keeps closing after you've turned off the engine and locked the car, it could cause injury if you or a passenger tries to get out or if you're standing nearby. Your BMW dealer will update the sunroof's computer software, so it stops closing the sunroof when you turn off the engine or lock the car. This update is free, and you'll be notified by BMW when it's time to schedule the repair.

The supports in your car's roof liner are the little pieces that hold the interior roof in place. In some 2021 BMW 230i and M240i models, these supports might not be properly attached. If one of these supports comes loose, it could fall into the passenger area and cause an injury if the airbag deploys during a crash. Your authorized BMW dealer will inspect the roof liner and fix or replace it as needed, all at no cost to you. You don't need a recall notice – the repair is already underway.
