AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The airbag inflator in your driver's side airbag is a critical safety component that could fail in a crash. In your 2006-2012 3 Series, the original inflator might have been replaced with a different type that could rupture during deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could hit you or your passengers, causing serious injury or even death. This is a life-threatening risk that requires immediate attention.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and replace the driver's airbag module with a safe one, at no charge to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the notification letter or contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The wiring and connectors in your car's heating and air conditioning system are like the electrical roads that tell the system how to work. In your 2006-2011 BMW, these roads can get too hot and potentially melt.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiring and connectors overheat, they could catch fire, even when you're not driving. This could cause significant damage to your vehicle and potentially put you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty wiring and connectors with new ones, at no cost to you. You'll receive a notice when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
