What's wrong: Prior exposure to excessive levels of humidity within the driver and passenger head air bag inflators May affect the proper deployment of the head air bags.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash of sufficient severity, deployment of the head air bag May be impaired and/or the igniter could separate from the inflator, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right head air bag, free of charge. The recall began June 24, 2020.
