What happened

BMW is recalling certain 2015 model year 428i and 435i Convertible vehicles manufactured between October 22, 2014, and February 27, 2015. Due to a programming error in the air bag control module, the driver's front air bag deployment timing may be incorrect, which increases the risk of personal injury in a vehicle crash and violates federal safety standards.

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the air bag control module with corrected software at no charge. The recall began May 11, 2015. Affected consumers should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
