BMW to recall and stop selling Series 1 because there is a problem on the seat-belt tensioner. According to Consumer Reports, BMW stop selling and recall the Series 1 Coupe and Convertible model years 2008 to 2011. This recall is due to estrangement between the material and isulator and seat belt tensioner is too narrow. If an accident, seat belt can shift isulator material and can cause a fire.
To fix this, the BMW dealer will cut the material that surrounds the seatbelt tensioner. BMW did not disclose how long the sale will be discontinued. However, due to the fact that BMW already has a solution for this case, termination of the sale of a Series will not seem long.
