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 designed to deploy in a crash to protect your head. In some 2014-2015 models, the inflator inside the air bag might fail at the weld joint, causing a gas leak or even a rupture.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could fly into your vehicle, posing a serious risk of injury. Alternatively, a leak could cause the air bag to inflate only partially during a crash, also increasing the risk of 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 possible, especially since you've already received a recall notice in the mail.
