Component
AIR BAGS:KNEE BOLSTER
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle has a knee air bag on the driver and passenger side. This air bag is made up of two parts that are folded together, sort of like a folded map. In some 2019-2020 BMW models, these parts might not be folded correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't deploy properly, you could be more likely to get hurt in a crash, even if it's a minor one. This is because the air bag won't be able to absorb the impact as well as it should.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty air bag modules with new ones, at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
