Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Understand the Safety Risk

NHTSA recall information identifies safety concerns involving the 2017 BMW X1's B-pillar, air bags, and driver's seat belt retractor. In a crash, inadequate B-pillar impact absorption may increase injury risk. A front passenger air bag or seat-mounted side air bag may not deploy as intended, while the driver's Emergency Locking Retractor may activate differently during heavy braking and potentially increase injury risk. Waiting leaves uncertainty about whether the vehicle's protection systems are operating as intended. Even when no warning light or unusual driving symptom appears, safety equipment may require a recall remedy. A free VIN check is the responsible next step.
