BMW in the event of a crash where the occupants head contacts the B-pillar, the pillar may not absorb an adequate amount of the impact.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the body roof and pillars. Here is what owners need to know.
In the event of a crash where the occupants head contacts the B-pillar, the pillar may not absorb an adequate amount of the impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
In the event of a crash, the insufficient impact absorption can increase the risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the vertical trim pieces on the upper portion of the interior B-Pillars, free of charge.
