Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have seat- mounted side air bag inflator initiators that may fail to ignite during a crash.

Why it matters: If the air bag inflator initiator fails to ignite, the seat-mounted air bag will not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began February 6, 2017.
