According to dealer documents obtained by
Consumer Reports,
BMW has instructed dealers to stop delivery of
1 Series models built between January and May of 2010 due to a fire risk.
The documents cites insufficient clearance between the B-pillar and the seat belt tensions, which, in the event of a crash, could result in friction, leading to overheating and a potential fire.
In addition to the aforementioned 2010 models, certain 2008-2011 1 Series coupes could be affected by the issue. Owners can contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 for more details and to see if their vehicle falls under the recall.
