The short version

BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

These vehicles may have received a replacement driver air bag as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the driver air bag inflators, free of charge.
