Please make sure you check your dealer inventory as soon as possible. Tomorrow, you can see a list of affected vehicles in Inventory Campaign Details (ICD) under ROSS.
SITUATION
BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Non-Compliance Recall (effective August 10, 2023) on certain Model Year 2019 – 2022 BMW vehicles that were produced between January 22, 2019 and November 5, 2021.
Potentially affected vehicles may, at times, not properly generate the audible seat belt warning indicator, and therefore may not meet a federal requirement.
Under certain circumstances, the warning sounds in the vehicle (e.g. PDC, turn indicator, seat belt warning, etc.) will be transmitted with a significant delay. The engine sound generated via Active Sound Design can also “freeze” or continue running when the engine is switched off.
The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.
CAUSE
Unfavorable software in the Receiver Audio Module (RAM).
CORRECTION
Program Receiver Audio Module (RAM).
PROCEDURE
Determine what is the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the Key Reader/Aftersales Workplace (AWP) application.
The fault elimination is included from the following I level versions:
I level S15A-23-07-545 or later (expected to be available from ISTA 4.43.2x, publication planned from 06/09/2023)
I level S18A-23-07-545 or later (expected to be available from ISTA 4.43.2x, publication planned from 06/09/2023)
The programming must be carried out using the I-levels given above or a later one!
Determine what is the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR/ ISPA NEXT/AWP (Aftersales Workplace) applications.
Connect the battery charger to the vehicle
Connect the programming system to the vehicle (ISTA 4)
Determine measures plan
Accept and fully work through the measures plan with the control units to be programmed/encoded and enabled
Follow the rework list
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory if needed After the programming has been fully completed, check functionality of the system.
Note: ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SIB 04 23 10).
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to Dealer Universal Portal / TIS / Technical Documentation / Diagnostics and Programming / Programming Documentation.

Chronology :
On July 17, 2023, delayed interior audio output was identified on a vehicle during a post assembly quality check at plant Graz. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that this condition occurred sporadically. An engineering review was initiated.
Tests and analyses were performed. On July 24, it was identified that this effect also occurred on different models. Preliminary analyses indicated that some test vehicles experienced the condition sporadically, while other test vehicles did not exhibit the condition.
Further analyses were done. On July 28, during further testing of affected vehicles, additional irregularities were identified which could delay warning signals under certain conditions.
A review was initiated to clarify if vehicles experiencing this condition comply with legal requirements in certain countries.
On Aug 9, 2023, BMW determined that, if the condition were to occur, potentially affected vehicles may not fully conform to FMVSS 208 Section 7.3a and decided to conduct a voluntary non-compliance recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.

BMW Diagnostic & Reprogramming
Introduction
The Online Service System (OSS) has been developed specifically for independent automotive workshops to provide an extensive range of resources. The following applications are available in the OSS:
ISTA Diagnosis Application
Vehicle diagnostics from the Z3/E36, with the BMW ICOM, or with a J2534 pass-thru tool (from model year 1996).
- Fault Code Diagnosis
- Test Plans
- Repair Instructions (E30 or higher)
- Technical Data
- Wiring diagrams
Web ISTA Information Application
WebISTA has been developed to provide an information only application for users that do not require all of the services included in the ISTA diagnostics application.
- Repair Instructions (E30 or higher)
- Technical Data
- Tightening torques
- Wiring diagrams
You can search using document title, document number and subject areas as the search criteria. The desired information is displayed by means of graphics and explanatory text.
ISTA/P Online - Control Module Reprogramming
With ISTA/P you can reprogram the onboard control modules that are capable of software reprogramming. For ISTA/P, a data interface, a power supply and an Internet connection are required. The data interface can be a BMW Group ICOM interface or a "Pass-Thru Tool (PTT)" that fulfills the requirements of the SAE J2534 standard.
What is needed to diagnose and program with the BMW OSS?
The OSS consists of a desktop or laptop PC connected to BMW over the Internet. To connect to the vehicle you can use the BMW authorized diagnostic interface "integrated communication optical module (ICOM)" or use a J2534 "Pass Thru Tool (PTT)".
Note
Connection to OSS works only on PCs where no proxy connections are used.
