Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 851 vehicles, including 2014 4 Series Coupes, 2014 3 Series Sedans, and 2014-2015 2 Series Coupes. The weld joint on the head airbag inflator may fail, potentially leading to a gas leak or a violent rupture of the inflator during a crash. To fix this safety defect, authorized BMW dealers will replace the head airbags in affected vehicles free of charge.

Risk

If an airbag inflator ruptures, it can propel sharp metal fragments into the cabin or outside the vehicle, posing a serious risk of injury or death to occupants. Additionally, an inflator that leaks gas may fail to inflate fully during a collision, reducing the protection provided to passengers.
