Seat Belts › Front › Retractor — BMW, Mini · reported 17 Sep 2025 · 1,571 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2025-2026 X1 and X2, MINI Cooper Convertible, MINI Cooper, Mini Countryman S ALL4, and 2025 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 vehicles. The torsion bar in both front seat belt retractors may have been damaged during production.

The risk

A damaged seat belt retractor may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will replace both front seat belt retractors, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 13, 2025. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on November 7, 2025.
