Consequence
A deactivated front air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy in the source record
Dealers will replace the seat foam, which includes the occupant classification system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 3, 2021. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
