Consequence / Hazard
Without an audible warning, the driver may forget to buckle the seat belt, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Proposed Solution
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will update the ECU software, free of charge. The recall began October 11, 2019. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
