Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the seat trim may not be properly attached to the front passenger seat. Over time, this could cause the occupant classification system (OCS) not to work properly. If this happens, the airbag system can turn off the passenger-front airbag even when an adult is sitting in the seat.
Safety Risk:
In a crash where an airbag is required, an airbag that does not inflate could increase the risk of injury for an adult passenger.
Corrective Action:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to make an appointment with a dealer to replace the front passenger seat cushion (including the occupant classification system).
