- Problem
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i and X5 xDrive50i vehicles. The driver and/or passenger sun visor may have an incorrect air bag warning label, or the label may be missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant crash protection."
- Risk
- Without a label that shows the proper restraint usage guidelines, the occupants may have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- BMW notified owners, and dealers will inspect the driver and passenger sun visor, replacing the visors as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 4, 2019. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Some sun visors may have an incorrect airbag warning label, or no label at all. The label tells occupants how to sit safely around the airbag, so without it a person may not know the proper restraint guidelines.
Without the correct label, occupants may have a higher risk of injury if the airbag deploys in a crash. Because the labeling does not meet federal safety standards, the vehicle is included in this recall.
If you own this vehicle, contact an authorized dealer or BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. The inspection and any needed sun visor replacement are free. Check your VIN for any other open recalls.
