An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
For vehicles equipped with an optional sports steering wheel which replaced the original standard steering wheel, the driver's frontal air bag inflator may rupture on deployment, causing metal fragments to come through the air bag and injure occupants. Dealers will inspect the vehicle for an optional sports steering wheel with an affected inflator and replace the air bag module as necessary free of charge to resolve the concern.
Recall repairs on your BMW must be performed by a BMW dealership. BMW will notify known owners of affected vehicles beginning in March, 2019. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local BMW dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with.
