Important Warning for Working on the High-Voltage (HV) systems on BMW Group vehicles:
Only properly trained personnel, who passed all applicable HV Technical Training Courses, should perform repairs which require disconnecting, or removal of High Voltage battery components on any Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Work performed on High Voltage systems by unqualified persons may result in severe injury or damage to the vehicle. Additional safety information is found in Repair Instruction 61 00… “Observe safety instructions when handling electric vehicles”.
Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled and secured (by means of the HV Service Disconnect Switch and lock out) by a properly trained technician, who has a minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training Course “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” which as of 1/2023* includes ST1824 Alternative Drive Part 1.
Once the vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” – lightning bolt icon is displayed in instrument cluster, see below), a technician without HV Certification may remove a HV component (e.g., EH Heater, EKK Compressor, EME Control Unit, et.), except for the High Voltage Battery.
* Note: As of January 2023, the HV component portion of the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage class” (except for the High Voltage Battery) has been merged into “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems”.
High Voltage Battery removal and rework can ONLY be performed by a High-voltage Certified Technician with a HV Battery Certification level corresponding to a specific Electric or Hybrid vehicle, for example:
To repair GEN4 HV battery of G05 PHEV a certification from Technical Training Course “ST2006 – SP44 HV Battery” or equivalent ST1825 – Alternative Drive Part 2 is required (or as of 1/2023 the equivalent “ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”).
And-

Chronology :
In January 2023, during an engineering development test of a new vehicle model, an atypical driver air bag deployment appeared to have occurred. An engineering review was initiated.
A review of test results indicated that, although the FMVSS 208 requirements were met, nevertheless the air bag deployed in an unusual manner. Other test results including full vehicle, sled, and system-level test information were reviewed. During the review, it was suggested that other vehicle types in production may use the same driver air bag supplier, and the same air bag module design, and were therefore identified for analyses. Engineering development and test information for these other vehicle types was obtained and analyzed, as well as Conformity of Production (COP) test results, including information from the air bag supplier.
Additional analyses found that, in rare cases during air bag module assembly at the supplier, a production process anomaly could occur involving a rebound tether strap. It was suggested that, if this were to occur, it could affect the deployment trajectory and resulting performance deviation, as observed in the January test.
Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.
On February 7, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.

What’s New (Specific text highlighted):
Parts return information updated
Please perform the procedure outlined in this Service Information on all affected vehicles before customer
delivery. In the event the customer has already taken delivery of the vehicle, please perform the procedure
the next time the vehicle is in the shop.
☒ THIS REPAIR IS MOBILE FRIENDLY
MODEL
E-Series Model Description Production Date
I20 iX Sports Activity Vehicle October 14, 2021 – February 1, 2023
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR,
AWP, Campaign Summary or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
Please make sure you check your dealer inventory as soon as possible. You can see a list of affected
vehicles in Inventory Campaign Details (ICD) under ROSS.
SITUATION
BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective February 3, 2023) on certain Model Year 2022 – 2023 BMW
iX SAV vehicles that were produced between October 14, 2021 and February 1, 2023.
As of February 8, 2023, this delivery stop has been upgraded to a Safety Recall.
The driver air bag may not have been produced according to specifications by the supplier. In rare cases,
the air bag may not deploy exactly as intended in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.
CAUSE
The driver air bag (in the steering wheel) may not have been produced according to specifications by the
supplier.
CORRECTION
Replace the driver’s air bag.
PROCEDURE
Note: Special tool usage and A-pillar paint finish protection instructions are included in the “Moving the hood
to the service position” repair instruction. Follow repair instruction to install adhesive tape prior to
moving the hood to the service position to avoid paint damage.
Important Warning for Working on the High-Voltage (HV) systems on BMW Group vehicles:
Only properly trained personnel, who passed all applicable HV Technical Training Courses, should
perform repairs which require disconnecting, or removal of High Voltage battery components on any
Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Work performed on High Voltage systems by unqualified persons may

5/30/23, 3:29 PM 65 09 23_RECALL 23V-079: DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
about:blank 2/5
result in severe injury or damage to the vehicle. Additional safety information is found in Repair
Instruction 61 00… “Observe safety instructions when handling electric vehicles”.
Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled
and secured (by means of the HV Service Disconnect Switch and lock out) by a properly trained
technician, who has a minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training
Course “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” which as of 1/2023* includes ST1824 Alternative
Drive Part 1.
Once the vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” – lightning bolt icon is displayed in instrument
cluster, see below), a technician without HV Certification may remove a HV component (e.g., EH
Heater, EKK Compressor, EME Control Unit, et.), except for the High Voltage Battery.
* Note: As of January 2023, the HV component portion of the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage
class” (except for the High Voltage Battery) has been merged into “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain
Systems”.
High Voltage Battery removal and rework can ONLY be performed by a High-voltage Certified
Technician with a HV Battery Certification level corresponding to a specific Electric or Hybrid
vehicle, for example:
To repair GEN4 HV battery of G05 PHEV a certification from Technical Training Course “ST2006 –
SP44 HV Battery” or equivalent ST1825 – Alternative Drive Part 2 is required (or as of 1/2023 the
equivalent “ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”).
And-
To repair A GEN5 HV battery the Technical Training Course “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage
class” is required or as of 1/2023* the equivalent “ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”.
*Note: As of January 2023, the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage stand-alone class” has been
merged into “ST2324 for High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” and “ST2325 for High Voltage Battery
Systems”

Miskolc Foreign States 3516 Country : Hungary Chronology :
In January 2023, during an engineering development test of a new vehicle model, an atypical driver air bag deployment appeared to have occurred. An engineering review was initiated. A review of test results indicated that, although the FMVSS 208 requirements were met, nevertheless the air bag deployed in an unusual manner. Other test results including full vehicle, sled, and system-level test information were reviewed. During the review, it was suggested that other vehicle types in production may use the same driver air bag supplier, and the same air bag module design, and were therefore identified for analyses. Engineering development and test information for these other vehicle types was obtained and analyzed, as well as Conformity of Production (COP) test results, including information from the air bag supplier. Additional analyses found that, in rare cases during air bag module assembly at the supplier, a production process anomaly could occur involving a rebound tether strap. It was suggested that, if this were to occur, it could affect the deployment trajectory and resulting performance deviation, as observed in the January test. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles. On February 7, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-079
