AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The side air bag cover panels in your 2 Series Coupe are designed to protect you in case of a side impact. In some 2023 models, these panels might break when the air bags deploy.
Risk if Unfixed
If a cover panel breaks, your side air bag might not work as it should, which could lead to serious injury to passengers in the back seats.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty air bag cover panels with new, reliable ones, and you won't pay a thing for the repair. Schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The power window and sunroof system in your vehicle uses a digital key to control the windows and sunroof. In some 2023 8 Series and 2022-2023 Z4 models, the system might not respect the key's presence when it's removed.
Risk if Unfixed
If the digital key is taken out of your vehicle, your windows and sunroof could close on their own, which could cause injury to people inside the car.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the vehicle's software at no charge. This will ensure the power windows and sunroof only respond to the digital key when it's present. You'll receive a letter with instructions on when to schedule the update.
