SEAT BELTS Safety Recalls

High Priority #23V584000 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The receiver audio module is the computer that controls your car's audio system, but it's also responsible for reminding you to buckle your seatbelt. In certain 2019-2022 BMW models, this module might not sound the warning to remind you to fasten your seatbelt.
Risk if Unfixed
If your car doesn't remind you to buckle up, you might not be alerted to do so in time, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the audio module's software to ensure the seatbelt reminder works properly, and it's free of charge. You should schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice in the mail.
