The front passenger seat occupant detection mat, which determines whether the passenger front air bag should deploy in a crash, can develop cracks over time due to fatigue. If this system fails, the passenger front air bag would not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the passenger.
BMW will repair or replace the occupant detection mat free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2017. Owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to arrange for the repair.
