BMW 2 Series

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the side curtain airbag inflator(s) could rupture and separate unexpectedly. As a result, a piece of metal from the inflator could be propelled toward vehicle occupants with or without the airbag(s) deploying. This could also cause the side curtain airbag(s) not to inflate properly in a crash. 
Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2024-241. 

Safety Risk: 
An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury. Additionally, an airbag that doesn't inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.  

Corrective Actions: 
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the side curtain airbag(s), as necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belt(s) may have been damaged during production. As a result, the seat belt(s) may not hold a person in place during a crash. Additionally, the seat belt(s) may not properly lock to secure a child seat. 
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, the company advises that you shouldn't transport passengers in the rear outboard seats until the recall repairs are completed. The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the left and/or right rear seat belt(s), as necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
This error does not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, fluid from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system could leak on the intake air hose. As a result, the fluid could enter the electrical connector for the water pump and cause a short circuit.  
 
Safety Risk: 
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises you to park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the water pump and electrical connector. The dealer will also install a shield on the connector.
