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 a life-saving system that deploys in a crash to protect your head and neck. In some affected 2014-2015 BMW models, the air bag's inflator can fail at the weld joint, causing a leak or even a rupture.
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.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty head air bag with a new one at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.

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.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could fly into the vehicle, causing serious injury. Alternatively, if the inflator leaks gas, it might not fully inflate during a crash, leaving you without the protection you need.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the head air bag with a new one that's designed to meet the highest safety standards – at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
