BMW receiver audio module control unit software may fail to properly generate audible seat belt warnings to the driver to fasten their seat belt.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the electrical system software. Here is what owners need to know.
The receiver audio module control unit software may fail to properly generate audible seat belt warnings to the driver to fasten their seat belt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
An audible chime that does not properly alert the driver to fasten their seat belt increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the receiver audio module software, free of charge.
