## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2025 X3 30 xDrive vehicles.  The gas generator in the right\-side head curtain air bag may have been assembled incorrectly.


## What can happen

An incorrectly assembled air bag can result in delayed activation or improper deployment of the head curtain air bag, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the right\-side head curtain air bag, if necessary, free of charge.  The vehicles have not been sold from dealer inventory and therefore no owner letters will be mailed.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.
