A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Front seat belt lower parts: BMW XM (G09)
- Period mentioned
- Model year 2024 in the US (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The seat belt warning light does not come on even though a front occupant is unbelted.
- Possible cause described
- The seat belt system may wrongly detect that the occupants are belted; the warning light then does not come on and the restraint system (airbags) may not deploy as intended in a crash. It is US recall 24V345 (3,256 vehicles across the 2024 XM and the 2025 X5, X6, X7 and Alpina XB7); the remedy is to inspect the front seat lower seat belts and replace them as necessary.
- Check for the garage
- Check that the seat belt warning light comes on when someone sits in the front without buckling up. Ask a BMW dealer, with the VIN, whether your XM has this recall or a European equivalent outstanding: they inspect and replace the belts free of charge.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
