The passenger side frontal air bag in these vehicles may develop excessive internal pressure that could cause the inflator to rupture during a crash, potentially sending metal fragments at passengers and other occupants.
BMW dealers will replace the passenger side frontal air bag at no charge. BMW mailed an initial notice to owners in September 2014 and a second notice on December 1, 2014 when parts became available. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair is completed. Owners can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com to arrange the replacement.
