Your vehicle's seat belt retractors are the parts that help your seat belts tighten and lock into place when you're moving. In some 2025-2026 models, these retractors might have gotten damaged during production.
Risk if Unfixed
If your seat belt retractor is damaged, it may not keep you safe in a crash. This could mean you're not fully restrained, and you could be at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will replace both front seat belt retractors with new ones – at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice to ensure your safety on the road.

The integrated brake (IB) system in your vehicle is like a safety net that helps you slow down and stay stable while driving. In certain 2023-2025 BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce models, this system may not work as intended.
Risk if Unfixed
If the IB system malfunctions, you could lose power brake assist, which means it'll take longer to stop your vehicle. You might also lose control of your vehicle, especially on slippery roads or during hard braking, increasing the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW or Rolls-Royce dealer will replace the faulty IB system with a new one at no cost to you. You've already received a recall notice by letter, so schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
