The 2026 BMW 2 Series has two recalls, the more serious being rear outboard seatbelts that were damaged during production and may fail to restrain an occupant in a crash or properly secure a child seat.
The second recall involves a wiring or electrical fault in the rear lamp circuit that can cause the taillights, brake lights, and turn signals to stop working, making it harder for drivers behind to know when the car is slowing or turning. A dashboard warning message will typically appear when this fault is present.
