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 safety device that deploys in the event of a side collision. In some 2014-2015 BMW models, the air bag inflator may fail at the weld joint, causing gas to leak or the inflator to rupture.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could fly into your vehicle and cause serious injury. Alternatively, if the gas leaks, the air bag may not fully deploy in a crash, also putting you at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty head air bag with a new, safe one — at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair after checking repair availability with your dealer, which was mailed to you on February 12, 2026. This timing describes the original 2025 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
