Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag deploys and the panel breaks off, sharp pieces could hit you or your passengers, potentially causing injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the instrument panel with a new one, ensuring it's securely attached to the airbag. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
