EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle has a side and window air bag system. The air bag inflator might be faulty, especially at the weld joint, which could cause gas to leak or the inflator to rupture.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
A ruptured inflator could send sharp metal pieces flying inside or outside the vehicle, and a leaking inflator might not properly inflate during an accident, increasing the risk of injury.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
The dealership will replace the faulty air bags for free. They've already sent you a letter, but you can also contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 if you need more information.
