Some BMW X1/iX1 SUVs must have defective B-pillars replaced

BMW is recalling 25,059 vehicles of the X1, iX1 model series manufactured between 17. 9. 2024 and 22. 10. 2024. The reason for the recall is the B-pillar reinforcement that was made from a material that was too hard/brittle. This alters the crash characteristics, which can lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.

At an authorised workshop, the B-pillar is inspected and replaced if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14481R“. The internal manufacturer codes are “0041340200, 0041350200, 0041380200, 0041390200“.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
