6 recalls across 6 model years
The BMW M2 has 6 recalls spanning 2016 through 2023, with the most serious being a fuel leak risk on 2020-2021 models where a missing vibration-damping component can allow the fuel line connection to wear and crack, raising the risk of a fire.
The 2021 model year has a seat belt retractor that can fail to function correctly in a crash, reducing the restraint the belt provides to the occupant. The 2019-2020 M2 Competition Coupe has knee airbags that were improperly folded during assembly and may not deploy correctly in a crash, leaving the driver or passenger more exposed to injury from the lower dash area.
On 2018 models, a software error in the instrument panel can prevent the display from lighting up at startup or while driving, hiding warning symbols from the driver. The 2023 model year has a software issue where windows or the sunroof can close automatically without the key present, which can trap someone inside the vehicle.
Going back to the earliest production years, the 2016 M2 Coupe is subject to a recall tied to a prior service action on the rear differential: if the rear subframe bolts were reused rather than replaced during that service, they can loosen over time and affect handling and vehicle control.
