BMW BMW Series 1 convertible and Coupe (US models only) Recall |
Fire may occur |
 BMW announced a problem with the BMW Series 1 convertible and Coupe (US models only) affecting a total of 25 vehicles.
The top seat belt automatic reel with pyrotechnic ignited pre-tensioner fitted, is mounted too close to the sound insulation, both nearside and offside. If the vehicle is involved in a substantial collision where the pre-tensioners are deployed, a fire may occur as it is possible for the hot gases to ignite the sound insulation. Vehicles built from 11/1/2006 to 5/31/2010 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to rework the sound insulation fitted to both nearside and offside and if necessary fit new top seat belts
