The short version

BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the seat belts. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The passenger seat belt Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) may deactivate early, before the webbing fully retracts. As such, these assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

WHY IT MATTERS

During a crash, a seat belt retractor that does not function as intended increases the risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the seat belt retractors (including the seat belts) and, if necessary, replace the retractors, free of charge.
