Every BMW X2 recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
Front Seat Belt Retractor
R/2025/398, launched 23 September 2025. Also covers the 2 Series, X1
Defect: On affected vehicles the front seat belts may have damage to the torsion bar caused during manufacture. The retention function of the seat belt may not perform as expected in the event of an accident.
Remedy: Affected vehicles will have the affected seatbelts replaced.
Hydraulic Brake System Unit Replacement
R/2024/414, launched 24 October 2024. Also covers the 2 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X1, X5, X7, Xm
Defect: On affected vehicles the brake servomotor was improperly welded. The weld seam might not withstand the stresses caused under high brake pressure leading to a requirement for a higher brake effort increasing the braking distance.
Remedy: Affected vehicles will have the hydraulic unit of the brake system replaced.
Integrated Braking System
R/2024/383, launched 13 September 2024. Also covers the 1 Series, 2 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X1, X5, X5M, X6, X6M, X7, Xm
Defect: On certain vehicles the Integrated Brake (IB) system may be impaired due to contamination between electrical contacts.
Remedy: Vehicles that may be affected by contamination are required to have the vehicle’s software updated which can detect signal interference before it occurs. If symptoms are detected you should refrain from use of the vehicle and the affected Integrated Brake (IB) system component will be replaced.
Replacing the Backrest Frame of the Front Left Seat
R/2024/277, launched 8 July 2024. Also covers the X1
Defect: On affected vehicles the welding of the recliner adjustment on the backrest of the left front seat may not have been performed to specification potentially resulting in insufficient locking of the backrest.
Remedy: On the affected vehicles the Left front seat backrest will be replaced.
THE MICRO GAS GENERATOR WITHIN THE FRONT SEATBELT'S RETRACTOR MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED
R/2022/089, launched 30 March 2022, 2,018 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 3 Series, X1, i3
Defect: The micro gas generator within the front seatbelt’s retractor may have been damaged and may not act according to the specification in the event of an accident.

REMAINING PARTICLES IN THE CELLS OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY CAN CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT
R/2020/283, launched 14 December 2020, 2,665 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 2 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, I8, X1, X3, X5
Defect: A possibility of impurities contained in the HV batteries may cause short circuit.
Remedy: Testing of battery charge cycles and replacement of the HV cells where necessary.
REMAINING PARTICLES IN THE CELLS OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY CAN CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT
R/2020/298, launched 22 October 2020, 871 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 2 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X1, X5
Defect: In very rare cases welding beads were not always completely removed in the cleaning process during battery production.
Remedy: Test and replace the High Voltage batteries if affected.
SOFTWARE FAULT WITH CRANKSHAFT SENSOR
R/2018/211, launched 20 August 2018, 4,025 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, Countryman, MINI Hatch, X1
Defect: The affected vehicles may be equipped with a crankshaft sensor with a software fault. The crankshaft sensor cannot process the signal values from the crankshaft transmitter due to an improper firmware level. The firmware does not compensate sufficiently the temperature gradients and the magnetic field strength of the sensor electronic. If the crankshaft sensor cannot process the signal values from the transmitter the Digital Diesel Electronic (DDE) will notice that and change to the emergency operation mode. The emergency mode will be displayed by the check control message ‘engine malfunction’. The driver may notice a rough running engine and a reduced driving power (70%). However an engine stalling during driving conditions cannot be excluded.
Remedy: On the affected vehicles the crankshaft sensor will be replaced with a new version.
