What Happened
The driver's air bag in your vehicle is a critical safety feature designed to protect you in the event of a crash. Unfortunately, some of these air bags have a faulty inflator that could malfunction and explode during deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator explodes, it could send sharp metal fragments flying towards you or other occupants, causing serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a new, safer one – at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Risk if Unfixed
If the reflectors aren't functioning, your car could be harder to see, increasing the risk of a crash — especially in the dark or at night.
Free Fix
