Defect
BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2026 2 Series Gran Coupe, X1, X2, and Mini Countryman S ALL4 vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Safety risk
A damaged seat belt retractor may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
