BMW due to a manufacturing error, the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy properly in a low speed crash.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to a manufacturing error, the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy properly in a low speed crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
In the event of a vehicle crash, an air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.
MINI and BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag module, free of charge.
