Defect

Safety risk
Increased electrical resistance in that circuit could cause the safety belt tensioner to fail to deploy in a crash, possibly resulting in increased injury to the seat occupant.
Remedy
The safety belt tensioner wiring will be repaired free of charge. The recall began on september 5, 2009. Owners may contact BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417.
