Body & Structure Recalls (1)

RECALLCampaign #19V349000

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS

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."

Fix: 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.

Sunroof shade came off the tracks and is now sagging partially obstructing the view of my rear view mirror, if this sags more or falls off completely I will be unable to see out the rear window and can cause a collision. I see this has been an issue with multiple vehicles and should be addressed with the company immediately.

I took my vehicle in to the dealership for service related to the engine light on 9/6/19 and I was inform that there was a recall on the vehicle that was not fixable and its related to the occupans protection. A vertical trim piece on the inside of the vehicle, between the front and rear doors, may marginally exceed a federal requirement for an unbelted compliance test.

While driving I opened my sunroof shade cover and heard a crackling noise turned around and it was all bundled up. The cover ripped off on one side. The untimely failure of the shade blind left it sagging/hanging and blocking my view as the driver while operating the vehicle.

Today the moonroof lining just fell off. It is hanging from both sides but one of the sides has a thin metal strip bunched up. I am unable to close the moonroof lining and because it hangs it blocks my vision to the back rear from the view mirror.

The sunroof shade in my vehicle had been sagging on the passenger side and when I retracted it, it bunched up and is now off track and stuck in position. I currently have my vehicle at a BMW service center for them to take a look at it. In terms of safety, I am unsure that it is a safety concern but it sure is an inconvenience.
