BMW these inflators do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) propellant.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
These inflators do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the driver air bag inflators and replace them, as necessary, free of charge.
