What Happened
The seat belt retractors in your vehicle are the parts that help keep you safe by tightening the seat belts during sudden stops or crashes. In some 2025-2026 models, these retractors might be damaged, which could make them less effective.
Risk if Unfixed
If a damaged retractor fails during a crash, it may not lock your seat belt in place, putting you at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace both front seat belt retractors with new, safe ones, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
