AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your 3 Series' driver airbag is the part that deploys in front of you in case of a crash. In some older models, the airbag's inflator, which is attached to the steering wheel, might be faulty.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator explodes during a crash, it could shoot sharp metal fragments into you or your passengers, causing serious injury or even death. This is a life-threatening situation.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will inspect and replace the airbag module for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice. The repair is free, and you can reach BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.
