If this happens, the side airbag(s) may not inflate properly in a crash. rnrnSafety Risk: rnAn airbag that does not work properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnBMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the rear seat backrest side airbag cover panels. To reduce the safety risk, BMW recommends that you should not transport any passengers in the rear seats until the recall repairs have been completed.
