BMW, MINI and Toyota Supra passenger seat belt retractor fault medium

Reported Jul 21, 2021 · Campaign 21V554000 · Model years: 2021

BMW is recalling certain BMW, MINI, Rolls Royce and Toyota Supra vehicles. The passenger seat belt has a locking feature that can switch off too early, before the belt webbing has pulled all the way back in. Because of this, these seat belt assemblies do not meet the federal safety standard for occupant crash protection. Dealers will inspect the seat belt retractors and the seat belts themselves, and replace the retractors if that is needed.

BMW 330e, M3, M340i Seat Belt Bolt Issue medium

Reported Apr 28, 2021 · Campaign 21V298000 · Model years: 2021

The bolt that secures the seat belt assembly to the frame was not tightened to the correct specification.

BMW backup camera may show partial or blank image medium

Reported Feb 19, 2021 · Campaign 21V096000 · Model years: 2021

BMW is recalling certain 2019-2021 cars and SUVs across many models because of a problem with the backup camera. When the driver shifts into reverse, a small part of the picture behind the vehicle may be hidden, or the screen may not light up at all. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for rear visibility. Dealers will check the backup camera software and update it if needed.

BMW, MINI Hybrid Battery Debris Fire Risk critical

Reported Sep 30, 2020 · Campaign 20V601000 · Model years: 2021

Certain plug-in hybrid BMW and MINI models, along with the BMW i8, may have debris that got into one or more cells of the high-voltage hybrid battery during manufacturing. This debris can cause a short-circuit inside the battery. A short-circuit like this raises the chance of a fire starting in the vehicle, or of someone being injured.

BMW and Mini Plug-In Hybrid Battery Fire Risk critical

Reported Aug 18, 2020 · Campaign 20V490000 · Model years: 2021

In certain plug-in hybrid BMW and MINI models, loose metal welding beads inside the hybrid battery could form a conductive path between battery cells that are not supposed to be connected to each other. This stray connection could cause the battery to short-circuit. Dealers will inspect the battery modules and replace them if necessary, and the repair is free of charge for the owner.
