The 2021 BMW M240i has two recalls, both rated at the same severity level, covering interior structural supports that can fall into the cabin and a seatbelt retractor that may not function properly in a crash.
Roof liner supports that are not securely attached can separate and drop into the passenger compartment, which raises the risk of injury if a side curtain airbag deploys. The seatbelt recall affects a wide range of BMW models built around the same period: the retractor mechanism can fail to hold the belt correctly during a crash, reducing the restraint the belt provides to the occupant.
