— The BMW X1 B-pillar recall affects more than 3,300 SUVs, but BMW is still working on how to fix the problem.
The recall is for 2025 BMW X1 xDrive28i and BMW X1 M35i vehicles, whose left and right B-pillar reinforcement plates may not be strong enough.
This can cause big problems when crashing.
The problem was discovered on September 23 when a BMW X1’s B-pillar reinforcement plate was discovered to be cracked at an assembly plant.
BMW worked with the supplier to determine that the supplier had used substandard materials.
BMW said it was not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the weak B-pillar.
Engineers are working on a recall remedy, but owners can expect to receive a BMW X1 recall letter by the end of 2024 or shortly thereafter.
BMW X1 owners can call 800-525-7417.
