BMW 3 Series: Lights and Instruments

Affects BMW 3 Series · 2019 — about 16 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime may be delayed if you begin driving, and your your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual tell-tale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt. Safety Risk: A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat before driving. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the Receiver Audio Module software.
