Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW is recalling certain 2007-2011 X5 and X6 models that were originally sold or registered in specific states and U.S. territories. The passenger frontal air bag inflator may rupture during deployment in a crash due to propellant degradation from exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants and causing serious injury or death.
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator or air bag module at no charge. Owners can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.
