On certain vehicles, the fabric for the passenger\-front knee airbag may not have been stitched properly. As a result, the passenger\-front knee airbag may not inflate properly in a crash.

An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Actions:

BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger\-front knee airbag. BMW recommends not to transport a person in the front\-passenger seat until the recall repairs have been completed.
