BMW prior exposure to excessive levels of humidity within the driver and passenger head air bag inflators may affect the proper deployment of the head air bags.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the air bags frontal. Here is what owners need to know.
Prior exposure to excessive levels of humidity within the driver and passenger head air bag inflators may affect the proper deployment of the head air bags.
In the event of a crash of sufficient severity, deployment of the head air bag may be impaired and/or the igniter could separate from the inflator, increasing the risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right head air bag, free of charge.
