NHTSA recall 23V050000
Air Bags, Seats · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with the Executive lounge seating package. In certain seat monitoring conditions, the front passenger seat electronic control unit (ECU) software may not recognize the seat position, and disable the front passenger air bag, knee air bag, and active headrest.
Why it matters: A disabled front passenger air bag, knee air bag, or active headrest will not deploy as intended in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the front passenger seat electronic control unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 10, 2023.
