Product
Passenger car - BMW 1 Series Cabrio (US model) and BMW 1 Series Coupé (US model).
Brand
BMW (260 alerts)
Type / model
Type corresponds to 182 and 1C
Description
US vehicles manufactured between December 2007 (series launch) and May 2010. Vehicles with a European type-approval are not affected. The US vehicles were sold to members of the US military within Europe.
Risk
The product poses a risk of fire because the clearance between the front seatbelt retractor and the sound insulation is too small. In a crash of sufficient severity, with deployment of the front seatbelt pre-tensioner and load-limiter it is possible in very exceptional cases that the sound insulation around the front seatbelt retractor could ignite.
