If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. _x000D_ _x000D_ Safety Risk: _x000D_ If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. _x000D_ _x000D_ Corrective Actions: _x000D_ BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver-front airbag module. _x000D_ _x000D_ To learn if your vehicle is affected by this recall, owners may: _x000D_ • Visit https://www.bmw.ca/en/ssl/VehicleRecall.html _x000D_ • Contact your preferred or local BMW Retailer _x000D_ • Call BMW Customer Relations Recall Services at 1-855-217-3002
