What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened

The air bag inflator in your vehicle is a critical safety device that deploys in a crash to protect you. In some cars, especially those sold in certain humid climates, the inflator can deteriorate over time and rupture when it's supposed to deploy.

Risk if Unfixed

If the air bag inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could shoot towards you, causing serious injury or even death. This is a life-threatening risk in a severe crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator or module with a safer one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, and don't drive your vehicle until then.
