Recall 24V870000

Air Bags › Air Bag/restraint Control Module — BMW · reported 19 Nov 2024 · 3 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2025 530i and 540i xDrive vehicles. The air bag control unit may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in the air bags not deploying as intended.

The risk

Air bags that do not deploy as intended during a crash increases the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will replace the air bag control unit, 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.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
