The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the electrical system instrument cluster/panel. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to a production process error, the tear seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly.
In the event of a crash, the air bag could improperly deploy, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the air bag's protection and increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger. In addition, parts or fragments from the air bag system could strike and injure the front passenger or other vehicle occupants.
