BMW is recalling certain 2022-2023 iX models due to air bag warning lights failing to illuminate during system issues, which could increase crash injury risk. Owners will receive free software updates from dealers.
An air bag malfunction indicator light that fails to warn the driver of a problem increases the risk of injury in a crash.
BMW is recalling 2022-2023 iX models where air bag warning lights might not show problems during crashes. This could lead to higher injury risk if a crash occurs and the system fails to alert the driver.
The air bag warning light may not turn on when there's a problem with the air bag control or pedestrian protection systems. This means drivers might not know the system is malfunctioning during a crash, increasing injury risk.
Owners of 2022-2023 BMW iX xDrive40, iX XDrive50, and iX M60 vehicles are affected. Drivers of these models are most at risk during crashes if the air bag warning light doesn't activate.
Check your vehicle's year and model: 2022-2023 iX xDrive40, iX XDrive50, or iX M60. The recall was notified to owners via mail on June 13, 2022.
