The vehicle-sensitive locking mechanism of the seat belt Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) for the driver's seat may not lock as designed.
In the event of a crash where heavy braking is applied, the ELR may activate when the occupant is more forward in the seat, possibly increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's seat belt assembly, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin July 2, 2019.
Owners may contact BMW customer service at (800) 525-7417.
