The 2021 BMW M235i has 2 recalls, the more serious being a seatbelt retractor that can fail to function properly in a crash, reducing the restraint the belt provides to the occupant.
The second recall involves the sunroof: if the driver starts an automatic closure and then turns the vehicle off or locks it, the sunroof can continue closing on its own, which raises the risk of injury to anyone with a hand or arm in the opening.
