BMW G30 (5-series Saloon): The Emergency Locking Retractor (elr) In The Front Seat Belt Assemblies May Be Faulty

BMW 5-Series Recall Summary BMW is recalling 614 BMW G30 5-Series Saloon and G31 5-Series Touring vehicles because the front seat belt locking mechanisms may not work properly—either failing to lock when needed or becoming difficult to pull out. If the seat belt doesn't lock during a crash, it won't restrain the occupant as intended, increasing injury risk. Dealers will inspect both front seat belts and replace them if necessary.

Product

Vehicles: BMW G30 (5-SERIES SALOON), BMW G31 (5-SERIES TOURING). Units affected: 614

Reason

The vehicle sensitive locking mechanism for the front seatbelts may be incorrect causing either the belt not to lock or the webbing very difficult to pull out. If the locking mechanism does not function during a collision it will not restrain the wearer as per design intent and increase the risk of injury. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the seat belts on both front seats and if necessary replaced.
