What is wrong
Issue:
On certain vehicles, there may be a problem with the front seat belt buckle sensors. This could cause the seat belt warnings to turn on, even if the front seat belts are buckled. If the driver ignores these warnings, the seat belt pretensioner and airbag systems may not function properly.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt pretensioner or airbag system that does not work properly in a crash could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to check the front seat belt buckles and replace them, if necessary.
