AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
What Happened
The air bag inflator in your driver's side is a critical safety component that helps protect you in the event of a crash. In certain BMW models from 1999-2000, this inflator might not work properly due to a manufacturing issue with the propellant.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could hit you or other passengers, causing serious injury or even death. If the air bag doesn't inflate properly, it won't do its job of protecting you from impact.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and replace the driver air bag inflator for free, once the remedy becomes available. You'll receive a second notice with instructions on how to schedule the repair, and it's completely free of charge.
