What this recall means for you
Supports inside the roof liner may not be securely attached. A support can separate from the liner and drop into the passenger compartment.
If this happens in a crash that deploys the head airbag, the falling part could increase the risk of injury to occupants. Owners should take this seriously even though the risk only arises in a crash.
An authorized BMW dealer will inspect the roof liner and repair or replace it as needed, at no charge. Owners can also call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
