SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
- The defect
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2023 X1 xDrive28i, X1 M35i vehicles. On the second-row outboard seats, the seat belts may have been pinched by an interior trim panel during vehicle assembly.
- What it can cause
- A pinched seat belt may not function properly, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and adjust the interior trim panel, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 9, 2023. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,465 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 9 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V554000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 70 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V422000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V739000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 24V697000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 24V104000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by BMW of North America, LLC with NHTSA on April 12, 2023 as campaign 23V260000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
