B-Pillar reinforcement plates may not be strong enough

BMW is recalling 3,312 2025 X1 xDrive28i and X1 M35i vehicles. The left and right-side B-Pillar reinforcement plates may have been manufactured with insufficient structural strength.

A B-Pillar structure with reduced strength may not adequately protect passengers in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by December 27, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
