2019 BMW 3 SERIESTransport Canada Recall #2023463
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime may be delayed if you begin driving, and your your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual tell-tale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt.
Safety Risk
A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat before driving. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the Receiver Audio Module software.
