IMPORTANTE RETIRADA POR MOTIVOS DE SEGURIDAD
Este aviso se aplica a su vehículo,
Campaña de retirada n.º 23V-260: Cinturones de seguridad de los asientos
laterales de la segunda fila de asientos
Junio de 2023
Estimado propietario o arrendatario de un vehículo BMW:
Le enviamos este aviso de conformidad con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos
(National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act). BMW AG ha determinado que algunos vehículos
de los modelos X1 SAV de BMW correspondientes al año 2023 tienen un defecto relacionado con
la seguridad de los vehículos motorizados. Según nuestros registros, usted es propietario de un
vehículo posiblemente afectado.
¿Por qué nos comunicamos con usted?
Nos complace informarle que estamos listos para hacer esta retirada por motivos de seguridad.
Si no se ha llevado a cabo la retirada, comuníquese de inmediato con el centro autorizado
de BMW para programar una cita. Visite bmwusa.com/dealer para buscar el centro autorizado
de BMW más cercano.
¿Qué podría suceder?
Es posible que los cinturones de seguridad de los asientos laterales de la segunda fila de asientos
hayan quedado comprimidos por un panel de guarnición interior. Esto podría afectar el
funcionamiento del cinturón de seguridad y, en raras ocasiones, aumentar el riesgo de lesiones.
Si usted no es la única persona que conduce este vehículo, comparta esta información
importante con los otros conductores y pasajeros.
¿Qué hará BMW?
Se inspeccionarán los cinturones de seguridad de los asientos laterales de la segunda fila de
asientos y, si es necesario, se retirará, sin cargo, cualquier interferencia que exista entre los
paneles de guarnición interiores y los cinturones de seguridad para permitir el correcto
funcionamiento de los cinturones de seguridad, lo que podría demorar aproximadamente una
hora.
Podría haber algunas opciones para ayudar a subsanar el inconveniente de traer su vehículo para
que se realice el servicio, de ser necesario. Comuníquese con su centro local de BMW para
consultar cuáles son las opciones disponibles.
¿Qué sucede si no soy el propietario actual de este vehículo?
Si usted cambió de dirección o vendió el vehículo, debe informarlo en bmwusa.com/mybmw o
comunicarse con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW (BMW Customer Relations) (consulte
la información de contacto en el lado izquierdo de la página). Si usted es arrendador del
vehículo, las reglamentaciones federales exigen que reenvíe este aviso a su arrendatario
en un plazo de diez días.
¿Qué debo hacer si tengo más preguntas?
Para conocer las últimas actualizaciones sobre esta retirada, visite bmwusa.com/recall. Si tiene
alguna pregunta sobre esta retirada, comuníquese con el centro autorizado de BMW. Si necesita
más ayuda, comuníquese con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW.
Si el centro de BMW no puede solucionar el defecto sin cargo o en un plazo razonable, usted
puede notificar al administrador de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito en
Carreteras (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), en 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E.,
Washington, DC 20590, llamar a la línea gratuita directa de seguridad vehicular (Vehicle Safety
Hotline) al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) o visitar el sitio web http://www.safercar.gov.
Le aseguramos que nos importa su seguridad y le pedimos disculpas si esta retirada por motivos
de seguridad le causa algún inconveniente. Recomendamos que usted y sus pasajeros utilicen el
cinturón de seguridad en todo momento.
Atentamente.

Country : NR Chronology :
On December 22, 2022, during vehicle assembly, an interference between a second row outboard seat safety belt and a vehicle interior trim panel was noticed. A closer examination indicated that a small portion of the belt was pinched by the trim panel in the lower area of the panel near the location of the seat bottom. Between January and February 2023, efforts were undertaken to understand why the issue may have occurred, and to investigate the possibility of a production process improvement. Various analyses were performed, including vehicle geometry, production system parameters, and production system image techniques. In March, additional efforts involved engineering analyses including technical assessments. It was suggested that even if the trim panel was interfering with a minor portion of the belt, this might have an affect upon restraint capability. Further reviews were conducted involving images captured during vehicle assembly, and other production and assembly quality information. Vehicle assembly information was reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles. On April 5, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-260
