BMW 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.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the rear/other retractor. Here is what owners need to know.
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."
A damaged seat belt retractor may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the rear (left and/or right) seat belts, free of charge.
