BMW X5, X3 +1 more: Airbag

Affects BMW X5, X3, X4 · 2014–2015 — about 395 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the housing of the driver's frontal airbag inflator may have been incorrectly welded during manufacturing and could separate from the base plate during an airbag deployment. If the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's frontal airbag.
