This page covers 4 recalls and NHTSA crash-test ratings for the 2025 BMW X1.
4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2025 BMW X1 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the integrated brake system, which can lose power brake assist or cause the anti-lock brakes and stability control to stop working, extending stopping distances and reducing the driver's ability to maintain control.
The remaining three recalls all concern occupant protection in a crash. Two separate issues affect the front seatbelts: on certain vehicles, the belt webbing itself may have been damaged during production and can fail to hold an occupant in a crash, while a separate recall covers the front seatbelt retractors, where a torsion bar inside each retractor may also have been damaged during assembly and can prevent the belt from locking up properly on impact. There is also a structural concern specific to the X1 xDrive28i and X1 M35i trims: the reinforcement plates inside the left and right B-pillars, the vertical supports between the front and rear doors, may lack sufficient strength to protect passengers during a side impact or rollover.
