BMW affected vehicles have a driver's frontal air bag inflator that may have been improperly welded.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have a driver's frontal air bag inflator that may have been improperly welded.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator housing could separate from the base plate and result in metal striking the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's front air bag module, free of charge.
