Chronology :
On June 23, 2023, BMW was informed by the supplier of a potential issue involving the deployment of the knee air bag. An engineering review was initiated. A review of Lot-Acceptance-Test (LAT) results indicated that on June 20th, a test anomaly had occurred during LAT knee air bag deployment whereby deployment did not occur as intended.
A review of knee air bags from the same production lot as the suspect part were examined. A knee air bag was found with a clamped air bag fabric due to the possibility of incorrect inflator installation. It was suggested that additional deployment tests be performed with similar anomalies to determine knee air bag deployment performance. Tests were performed, and similar deviations in deployment were observed.
Further reviews involving supplier production and process information were performed. It was determined that suspect parts may have been produced at a single station with a specific machine operator during a specific and limited period of time. Knee air bags from these production lots were identified.
Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.
On June 30, 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.
