SEAT BELTS Safety Recalls

High Priority #20V164000 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The front seat belt buckles in your vehicle have sensors that check if you're wearing your seatbelt. In some 2020 models, these sensors might get it wrong and think you're unbuckled when you're not.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners might not work correctly in a crash. This could lead to a higher risk of injury to you and the person sitting in the front passenger seat.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check and replace the faulty seat belt buckles for free, as soon as you get the recall notice.
