Mini side curtain air bags for the front seat occupants may deploy in the intended positions in the event of a crash.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the air bags side/window. Here is what owners need to know.
The side curtain air bags for the front seat occupants may deploy in the intended positions in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
If a side curtain air bag does not inflate as intended in the event of a crash, there is an increased risk of injury to the front seat occupants.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will modify the driver and passenger side curtain air bag covers, free of charge.
