Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 1,024 vehicles, including certain 2026 2 Series Gran Coupe, X1, X2, and Mini Countryman S ALL4 models. The housing pin in the rear seat belt retractors may have been damaged during production, which can prevent the retractor from locking the seat belt as intended.
