5 recalls covering model years 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
BMW is recalling certain 3 Series, 4 Series and 2 Series Gran Coupe cars, including the M340i and M440i. The software in the car's audio receiver control unit may not properly sound the audible warning that reminds the driver to buckle their seat belt. Because that warning does not work as it should, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering occupant crash protection.
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.
Some BMW 430i and M440i 4 Series Convertible vehicles may have a head-thorax side air bag that does not deploy the way it is supposed to in certain side-impact crashes. This air bag is meant to help protect the head and torso area of an occupant during a side collision, but on these vehicles it may not deploy correctly when needed.
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.
On certain BMW models, the connection between the 48-volt battery and the starter-generator may not have been put together correctly. This can lead to increased electrical resistance at that connection point in the vehicle's electrical system.
