Safety Risk: If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver\-front airbag inflator. The driver\-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary.
