AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION
What Happened
The occupant detection mat in your vehicle's passenger seat is a critical sensor that helps determine if and how the front air bag deploys in a crash. Over time, this mat can crack and fail, which could disable the air bag.
Risk if Unfixed
If the mat fails, the front passenger air bag won't deploy in a crash, putting you at risk of serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the occupant detection mat with a new one that won't crack, ensuring the air bag will work as designed. This repair is completely free.
