Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 5,761 vehicles including various 2014-2015 2 Series, 3 Series, and 4 Series models because the head air bag inflator may fail at a weld joint. This defect can cause gas to leak from the inflator or cause the inflator to rupture completely during deployment. If you own an affected vehicle, BMW dealers will replace the head air bags free of charge to ensure your safety.

Risk

A ruptured air bag inflator can propel sharp metal fragments into the cabin, which may strike and seriously injure occupants. Additionally, if the inflator leaks gas, the air bag may only partially inflate during a crash, failing to provide the intended protection and increasing the risk of injury.
