FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is a crucial part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2014 and 2015 BMW models, the fuel pump's nickel plating could be flawed, leading to premature failure.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump fails on the road, your car may stall without warning, causing you to lose power steering and power brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible once you receive the recall notice, and don't hesitate to reach out to BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:HEAD

Manufacturer

What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could fly into the vehicle, causing serious injury. If it leaks gas, the air bag might not inflate properly in a crash, also risking injury.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The head air bag in your vehicle is designed to protect you from injury in a side or window impact. In some 2014-2015 BMW models, the weld joint in the air bag inflator could fail, releasing gas or causing the inflator to rupture.
