The Technical Problem Explained

The recall stems from a potential manufacturing defect where the driver and passenger head airbags (specifically the curtain shield airbags) may not have been properly aligned with the interior trim during vehicle assembly. This misalignment could affect the airbag's deployment trajectory in a crash situation.

When head airbags deploy incorrectly, they may:

• Fail to provide adequate cushioning for occupants' heads
• Deploy at suboptimal angles, reducing protection effectiveness
• Potentially increase the risk of head injuries during side-impact collisions

BMW has authorized all dealerships to perform the necessary corrections at no cost to vehicle owners. The repair process involves:

1. Complete inspection of head airbag installation
2. Precise realignment if any discrepancies are found
3. Thorough testing to ensure proper deployment functionality
4. Quality verification by certified BMW technicians

The repair typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete, though owners should schedule appointments in advance to minimize wait times.
