What This Recall Means

Component

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR

What Happened
The Emergency Locking Retractor in your seat belt is a critical safety feature that locks the belt in place during a crash. In some 2016-2017 models, this mechanism might not work as designed.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're involved in a crash where you slam on the brakes, the seat belt might lock too early, and you could be at a higher risk of injury, especially if you're sitting forward in your seat.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the driver's seat belt assembly with a new one that works correctly, at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification letter, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
