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 Models: Integrated Brake System May Lose ABS high

Reported Feb 10, 2021 · Campaign 21V062000 · Model years: 2021

The rotor and shaft inside the vehicle's integrated brake system may not have been welded together correctly. During hard braking, they could come apart from each other.

BMW M4 Fuel Injector Issue May Cause Fuel Leak high

Reported Oct 29, 2020 · Campaign 20V666000 · Model years: 2020

BMW is recalling certain M2 Coupe and M4 Coupe vehicles because some fuel injectors may have been built without a small damping part that is meant to reduce vibration. Without that part, vibration increases at the point where the fuel line connects to the fuel rail. Over time, this extra vibration can wear down and damage that connection.

BMW M4 knee airbags folded incorrectly at factory high

Reported May 9, 2019 · Campaign 19V352000 · Model years: 2020

BMW is recalling certain 2019 and 2020 vehicles, including the M4, several 2 Series and 4 Series models, and the 2019 330i xDrive Sportswagon. The knee airbag assemblies for the driver and the front passenger may have been folded and put together improperly. An airbag that is folded and assembled the wrong way may not open as it is meant to. BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the knee airbag modules free of charge. The recall began July 8, 2019.

BMW 4 Series And M4 Seat Belt Locking Defect high

Reported Aug 16, 2017 · Campaign 17V507000 · Model years: 2018

Some BMW convertibles have a locking mechanism inside the front seat belts that may have been built with mismatched parts. This mechanism is what locks the belt in place if the car is involved in a crash. Because of the mismatched parts, the seat belt may not lock properly and hold the occupant securely, which means it might not work as intended when it's needed most to keep the driver or passenger safely in their seat.
