NHTSA recall 24V138000
Air Bags, Structure · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The instrument panel may not have been manufactured properly, which can result in improper air bag deployment or the panel separating during air bag deployment.
Why it matters: Instrument panel separation during air bag deployment can result in pieces of the panel striking occupants. Improper air bag deployment may not restrain an occupant as intended during a crash. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the instrument panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2024.
