BMW of North America is recalling 144 vehicles because the seat belt warning system may fail to play an audible chime to alert the driver to fasten their seat belt. This recall affects various 2019-2022 models including the 330i, M340i, 430i, M440i, and 228i xDrive Gran Coupe. Because the system does not properly alert the driver, these vehicles fail to meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection. BMW dealers will update the receiver audio module software to correct the issue at no cost to owners.
If the vehicle fails to provide an audible chime, a driver may forget to fasten their seat belt, which significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a crash.
