Plain-English summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2020 BMW X1 and X2 models, 2020 MINI Clubman Cooper S All4, and 2020-2021 MINI Hardtop 2 Door and 4 Door models. The recall involves a defect in the rollover sensor within the air bag control unit.

In the event of a rollover crash, the head air bag, seat belt pretensioners, and other safety systems may not activate. If these safety systems do not deploy as intended, it may increase the risk of injury.

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit free of charge. The recall began on July 17, 2020. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525.
