BMW 228I Recalls

The BMW 228i has 4 recalls spanning 2014 to 2025, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023-2024 models where front body structure bolts can be loose, reducing the protection the structure provides to occupants in a crash. The 2022 model year has a high-pressure fuel rail that can crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment, raising the risk of a fire if the fuel contacts an ignition source. On 2020-2021 models, initiating an automatic sunroof closure and then switching the vehicle off or locking it can cause the sunroof to keep closing without input, which can pinch someone in the opening. Going back to 2014-2015 production, the head airbag inflator can fail at a weld joint, either leaking propellant gas or rupturing and sending sharp metal fragments into the cabin or toward people outside the vehicle.
