If this happens, you could be seriously hurt or even killed by flying metal fragments. This is a life-threatening situation, and you should have the repair done as soon as possible.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The side and window airbags in your vehicle are designed to deploy in the event of a crash to protect you from injury. However, in some 2014-2015 models, the inflator that makes the airbag work may not be attached properly, which could cause it to leak or rupture.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could fly into the vehicle, putting you at risk of serious injury. If the inflator leaks, the airbag may not work properly during a crash, also increasing the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty airbag inflator with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
