Summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling 2 vehicles, specifically the 2025 X3 30 xDrive, because the gas generator in the right-side head curtain air bag may have been assembled incorrectly. This defect can lead to delayed or improper deployment of the air bag during a crash, which significantly increases the risk of occupant injury. Because these vehicles were identified while still in dealer inventory, no owner notification letters will be mailed, but affected units must be repaired before sale. Dealers will inspect and replace the air bag assembly free of charge.

Risk

The incorrectly assembled gas generator may cause the side curtain air bag to deploy improperly or with a delay during a collision. This failure to provide intended cushioning increases the risk and severity of head injuries for passengers in the event of a crash.
