SEAT BELTS

What Happened

Your vehicle's seat belt warning system is a crucial safety feature that alerts you to fasten your seat belt. However, if you have a 2019-2022 330i, 330i xDrive, M340i, 2022 430i Coupe, 2021-2022 430i, M440i Convertible, or 2020-2022 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, the software controlling this system might not work properly, so you won't hear the warning chime when you forget to buckle up.

Risk if Unfixed

If the warning chime doesn't sound, you might not realize you're not buckled in, which increases the risk of injury in a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will update the software in your receiver audio module for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice letter, which was mailed on October 12, 2023.
