NHTSA recall 25V717000
Seat Belts · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The housing pin in the rear (left and/or right) seat belt retractors may have been damaged during production, resulting in the retractor not locking the seat belt as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Why it matters: A damaged seat belt retractor may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the rear (left and/or right) seat belts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 18, 2025.
