BMW has issued two recalls for failures in safety systems and potential loss of control of the vehicles.
The first recall, pertaining to head airbags and seat belt pretensioners, affects 76 vehicles.
The problems, caused by faulty rollover sensors, affect 2020 BMW X1 xDrive28i, 2020 BMW X1 sDrive28i, 2020 BMW X2 xDrive28i, 2020 BMW X2 ssDrive28i, 2020 MINI Cooper Clubman S All4, 2021 MINI Cooper, 2021 MINI Cooper S, 2021 MINI Cooper John Cooper Works and 2021 MINI Cooper SE vehicles.
