- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 19V349000
- Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC

## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2016\-2019 X1 sDrive28i and X1 xDrive28i vehicles.  In the event of a crash where the occupants head contacts the B\-pillar, the pillar may not absorb an adequate amount of the impact.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."


## What can happen

In the event of a crash, the insufficient impact absorption can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the vertical trim pieces on the upper portion of the interior B\-Pillars, free of charge.  Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed July 1, 2019.  Second notices will be sent as parts become available, starting on September 27, 2019.  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.
