Vehicles Affected: Approximately 3,700 model-year 2015 BMW X3 sDrive28i, xDrive28i, xDrive35i and xDrive28d SUVs; model-year 2015 X4 xDrive28i and xDrive35i SUVs; model-year 2014-15 X5 xDrive35i, sDrive35i and xDrive50i SUVs; and model-year 2014 X5 xDrive35d SUVs

The Problem: A driver’s frontal airbag inflator may have been improperly welded, which may cause the inflator housing to separate from the base plate and result in metal striking occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver’s frontal airbag for free.
