AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #25V871000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:HEAD

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The head air bag in your vehicle is designed to protect you in the event of a side collision. However, in certain 2014-2015 BMW models, this air bag's inflator could fail at the weld joint.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could enter or exit your vehicle, risking serious injury. Alternatively, if the inflator leaks gas, it might not fully inflate in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or death.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the head air bag with a safer, redesigned one – at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2025 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
