What are the defects?
Due to a software issue with the airbag control unit, the airbag warning lamp and warning message may not be illuminated in the instrument cluster as intended. If this occurs the vehicle occupants may not be alerted to the potential failure of the airbag control or pedestrian protection systems.
What are the hazards?
Absence of an alert to the potential failure of these systems will increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
What should consumers do?
BMW will contact owners of affected vehicles to have their airbag control unit software updated free of charge.
