2026 BMW 228I Gran Coupe, BMW 228I Xdrive Gran Coupe, BMW M235I Xdrive Gran Coupe +more: Seat Belts recall

What's wrong

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2026 2 Series Gran Coupe, X1, X2, and Mini Countryman S ALL4 vehicles. 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. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov December 12, 2025.
