What Happened
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.
