5 recalls across 4 model years
The BMW M235i has 5 recalls covering 2014 through 2021, with the most serious being two separate airbag inflator defects on 2014-2015 models where the side and head airbag inflators can rupture and send metal fragments into or out of the cabin.
The 2021 model year has two recalls. The seat belt retractor on certain 2021 vehicles can fail to function correctly in a crash, reducing the restraint the belt provides to the occupant. On 2020-2021 models, the sunroof can continue closing after the vehicle is shut off or locked, which raises the risk of injury to anyone with a hand or arm in the opening.
Going back to the earliest production years, the 2014 model has a fuel pump that can fail without warning, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving.
