Recall 1990037

The issue

On certain 525I, 535I, 735I, 735IL and 750IL vehicles, the front seat center fold-down armrest may contact and damage the seatbelt buckle if the seat back is moved forward to an upright position while the armrest is locked in the down position (horizontal). If this occurs, the release button may be held in the down position, preventing the seatbelt from being latched during the buckle-up operation. Non-latching of the seatbelts will increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Front seat safety belt buckles will be replaced with shorter ones that are not susceptible to damage by contact with the armrest.

Description (français)

Sur certains BMW 525I, 535I, 735I, 735IL et 750IL, l'appui-bras central rabattable, à l'avant, peut frotter contre la boucle de la ceinture de sécurité et l'endommager si le dossier est incliné en position verticale pendant que l'appui-bras est à l'horizontale. Le bouton de dégagement risque alors d'être maintenu enfoncé, empêchant que la ceinture soit bouclée correctement, ce qui augmente les risques de blessures aux personnes en cas d'accident.
