- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 17V507000

## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2018 430i, 430i xDrive, 440i, 440i xDrive, and M4 convertible vehicles.  The Emergency Locking Retractors \(ELR\) within the front seat belt assemblies may have been produced with incompatible vehicle\-sensitive locking mechanism housings.


## What can happen

If the vehicle has an incompatible vehicle\-sensitive locking mechanism, the seat belt may not restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary replace, the front seat belt assemblies, free of charge.  The recall began October 13, 2017.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
