Component:
Seat belts:front:retractor
Manufactured:
11/30/2007 - 05/26/2010
Affected:
31,935
Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 1-series vehicles. in a crash of sufficient severity, deployment of the front pre-tensioner and load-limiter occurs.
Consequence:
The insulation around the pre-tensioner could ignite.
Correction:
Vehicles produced up through december 2009 will receive new front safety belt retractor units and a modification to the sound insulation near the units, while vehicles produced between january 2010 and may 2010 will receive a modification to the sound insulation near the units. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on august 23, 2010. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.

Campaign:
12E029000 on 08/13/2012
Component:
Engine and engine cooling:cooling system:fan
Affected:
585
Defect:
This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by valeo. valeo is recalling certain engine cooling fans, part numbers 696121, 696273, and 696275, used as service replacement parts for model year 2008-2011 bmw 1-series, 2006-2011 bmw 3-series, 2000-2009 bmw 5-series, 2004-2005 bmw 6-series, and 2006-2007 bmw 7-series vehicles. a metal-oxide semiconductor may overheat due to insufficient screwing of the semiconductor on the aluminum heat sink. this primary failure could cause adjacent components on the fan assembly motor circuit board to overheat and short.
Consequence:
This condition could cause the fan motor to become inoperative, or cause the motor circuit board in the assembly to overheat, potentially leading to a fire in the engine compartment.
Correction:
Valeo will notify owners and replace the fans free of charge. the safety recall began on august 22, 2012. this recall is being conducted by valeo, not by bmw. for further information, owners may contact valeo at 1-888-718-2536.
