BMW X5: Airbag

Affects BMW X5 · 2015 — about 4 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the Head Protection System (HPS) may have been manufactured incorrectly. The clamp which secures the HPS' air bag to the gas generator is out of specification. This could result in an insufficient inflation of the air bag during activation of the HPS, which would increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a crash where deployment of the HPS is warranted. Correction: Dealers will replace the Head Protection System (HPS).
