Lightbulb Recall


New information released on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website shows that BMW is recalling all 1 Series models sold in the U.S. between 2008 and 2010 for a potential fire risk.

According to the manufacturer, cars built between December 1, 2007, and May 27, 2010, may not have sufficient clearance between the seatbelt tensioners and the sound insulation in the B-pillars. Should a crash occur, the tensioners could overheat. In rare instances, the excess temperature could possibly ignite the insulation material.

BMW has not yet released a fix for the issue, but has notified NHTSA of the recall and halted sales of all 1 Series models until it rectifies the design issue. BMW will notify owners of the recall shortly and provide updated information to NHTSA when it has a fix. For more information, contact your local BMW dealership.

Oh my, a crash and burn scenario for real.

Notifications to the NHTSA sure happen quickly these days.

I have to agree, but the twin turbo version has to be a blast to drive. I also feel, like the 3 series, that the interior quality of the plastic between the wood grain on the dash and the shifter looks way to textured and looks cheap. When I looked at the 335 the interior and the tiny size turned me off to the vehicle. You gotta respect how these cars drive though. Lots of fun

The 1 needs mods basically, stock it's so-so, but MFest changed my opinion of the 1 for sure.

Boo to recalls! ... so many right now.
