If the driveshaft fails, you could lose power and be unable to control your vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash.

Your BMW dealer will replace the driveshaft with a new one, free of charge. This repair is free to you, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.

AIR BAGS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The airbag system in your vehicle has a small part called the airbag inflator initiator that helps the side airbag deploy in case of a crash. In some 2017 BMW models, this part might not work as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag inflator initiator fails, the side airbag won't deploy, which means you could get hurt if you're sitting in the seat during a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty airbag module for free, so you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
