FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump in your BMW is like the heart of your car's fuel system. It's the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2014 and 2015 models, the plating on the fuel pump could be done incorrectly, making it fail prematurely.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump fails without warning, your car could stall while you're driving, which could cause a loss of power steering and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice and avoid driving your car until it's fixed.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The airbag on your side or window is designed to protect you in a crash. However, in some 2014-2015 BMW models, the airbag's inflator could 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 the vehicle, potentially causing serious injuries. If the inflator leaks, the airbag might not inflate properly during a crash, also increasing the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty airbag at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice, and you can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.

AIR BAGS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag deploys too late or not at all, you could be more likely to get hurt in a crash, putting you and others at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the air bag control module with the correct software, which is free. You'll get a notification with instructions on how to schedule the repair.
