Faulty folding of the airbag with BMW IX, IX1 and X1

28/03/2023

Worldwide, 20,100 BMWs IX, IX1, and X1, which were manufactured in the production period 2020 to 2023, must be recalled to the workshop. The reason for the measure is the faulty folding of the airbag on the driver’s side airbag, which can lead to impaired protection in the event of an accident.

The driver airbags will be replaced in the workshop. The KBA is monitoring the recall under reference number “012578”, and the internal codes are “0032400300” and “0032410300”, respectively.
