BMW of North America, LLC "BMW" is recalling certain 2014-2015 2 Series Coupe "228i, 228i xDrive, M235i", 3 Series Sedan "320i, 320i xDrive, 328i, 328i xDrive, 335i, 335i xDrive, M3, 328d, 328d xDrive", 4 Series Coupe "428i, 428i xDrive, 435i, 435i xDrive, M4", and 2015 4 Series Gran Coupe "428i, 428i xDrive, 435i, 435i xDrive" vehicles. The head air bag inflator may fail at the weld joint, which can cause gas to leak from the inflator or result in an inflator rupture.
An inflator that ruptures may cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, an inflator that leaks gas may only partially inflate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the head air bags, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 4, 2024. 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 www.nhtsa.gov.
