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.
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.
