A small number of BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe sedans and Countryman utility vehicles have been recalled in the United States due to insufficiently tightened front module bolts. These bolts connect the front module to the chassis, and if they are loose, they can increase the risk of injury in a frontal collision.
The issue was first discovered on July 27 at the BMW Group Plant Leipzig, where these models are produced. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that a single production station was responsible for the loose connections. A total of seven potentially affected vehicles were shipped to the US market.
BMW of North America has identified three units of the 2 Series Gran Coupe and four units of the Countryman that may be affected by this recall.
The affected vehicles were produced between May 31, 2023, and November 27, 2023, for the 2 Series Gran Coupe and between March 5, 2024 and June 28, 2024, for the Countryman. Dealers nationwide have been instructed to inspect and tighten these bolts to the correct specifications.
Owners will receive notification letters by November 15th, but those who can’t wait can check their vehicle’s VIN online. The recall affects 2 Series Gran Coupe and Countryman models built in Germany.
The 2 Series Gran Coupe is not the same as the rear wheel drive 2 Series Coupe, which is made in Mexico. For the 2025 model year, the 2 Series Gran Coupe features a new design inspired by the 1 Series Hatchback. It’s available in three trims: the 228i, 228i xDrive, and M235i xDrive. The Countryman is offered in S ALL4, JCW ALL4, and SE ALL4 variants.
