Recall Date: May 9, 2019
Safety Issue:

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."

Potential Risk:
In the event of a crash, the insufficient impact absorption can increase the risk of injury.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.

Recall Date: Jan 30, 2019
Safety Issue:

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2018-2019 BMW X1 sDrive28i and X1 xDrive28i vehicles. Contaminated hardware may cause the attachment brackets of the taillight housings to crack, causing the lights to loosen or possibly detach from the vehicle.

Potential Risk:
If a taillight detaches from the vehicle, it would no longer provide the required lighting to following traffic, or it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will properly secure the taillights, free of charge. The recall began March 28, 2019. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Defect Description:

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

My vehicle stalled on a busy street and could not be restarted. Other drivers stopped and assisted me pushing the vehicle to a nearby intersecting street, which placed everyone in imminent danger of being hit by another car. Vehicle was towed to the dealer who has performed all the service work on my car. The dealer diagnosed the issue as failure of the high-pressure fuel pump. Warning messages appeared after my vehicle was already in distress. The car is currently at the dealership awaiting repair. There has been a litany of complaints and issues relating to high-pressure fuel pumps failing on vehicles like mine.

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

At-fault vehicle (charged with improper lane usage) in Toyota Corolla attempted to abruptly merge left from "local lanes" going north of IL 53 to the "express" lanes hitting a Toyota Camry which veered into my front right tossing me across 3 lanes taking out 70' of guardrail and totaling my 2018 BMW X1. My airbags did not deploy. My engine came away from the chassis and left front wheel came away from the vehicle as well. It is my opinion at least one airbag/safety restraint should have been deployed. I submitted a report to this department February 1, 2022. I heard back in June and nothing else ever happened even after I submitted the requested information. See the email stream last week from [XXX], HR, NHTSA-----> Good morning [XXX], I reviewed the documents you sent me and it appears you submitted everything [XXX] requested. The information my contact gave me is as follows: “The customer can go to the NHTSA Report a Safety Problem web page on NHTSA’s public webpage (link below) and complete the required information. They can also call the toll free number at 888-327-4236, Monday-Friday 8am-8pm ET to report as well.

The last time you heard from him was June 10, 2022 when he requested the additional information and you provided the information later that day.

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

I was in a 3-car accident through the fault of another driver. This was on a highway in northwest suburbs of Chicago. Very serious crash ending in a totaled vehicle. Severe (left) front end damage with engine disengaging from the chassis and left front wheel coming off vehicle. I believe I was put at high risk of losing my life because none of the airbags deployed inside the vehicle. The car was viewed by state police (police report available) and insurance representatives officially deeming the vehicle "totaled". Based on my VIN, there were no pending airbag recalls on file.
