RECALL CAMPAIGN 20V-016: REPLACE PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG MODULE
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.
MODEL
| E-Series | Model Description | Production Date |
| E70 | X5 including M Sports Activity Vehicle | September 27, 2006 – March 28, 2012 |
| E70 | X5 diesel SAV | November 4, 2008 – November 28, 2012 |
| E71 | X6 including M Sports Activity Coupe | February 20, 2008 – February 20, 2012 |
| E72 | X6 Active Hybrid SAC | October 8, 2009 – January 12, 2011 |
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which are affected by this recall were included in an earlier Takata recall and received an interim remedy.
Vehicles which require this Recall Campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR, the “Service Menu” of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System), ISPA Next or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
SITUATION
BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective January 16, 2020) on certain Model Year 2007 – 2012 BMW vehicles that were produced between September 27, 2006 and November 28, 2012.
This recall is for vehicles which have already had the PSPI-2 passenger front air bag replaced as part of a previous recall.
The currently installed part must be inspected.
- If it is an interim repair air bag, it corresponds technically to the originally installed passenger air bag.
- If it is a final repair air bag (part number 72 12 6 995 901), no further action is necessary and this recall can be closed.
OTHER AIR BAG-RELATED FAULTS AND REPAIRS
This Recall applies to an operational passenger’s front air bag. The issue addressed will not cause an air bag (SRS) malfunction light to illuminate. It will also not prevent the system from deploying in a front-end collision.
However, a recalled vehicle can arrive at your center with an air bag malfunction light illuminated.
It is important to notify the customer that diagnosing other air bag-related system issues may be required and this diagnosis and corresponding repair work, if needed, is not covered by this Recall.
In this case, replacing the passenger’s front air bag module will not correct the other fault code (s).
CAUSE
After long-term exposure in areas with a high level of humidity, moisture may enter the housing of the gas generator on the passenger’s front air bag.
- In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger’s air bag, the moisture may create excessive internal pressure, possibly causing rupture of the air bag inflator and resulting in metal fragments striking and injuring the front passenger or other passengers
CORRECTION
Replace the passenger’s front air bag assembly.
PROCEDURE
Please record the exterior cosmetic condition of the dashboard cover on the Repair Order prior to any repair.
Access front passenger air bag to read the parts label.
- If it is a final repair air bag (part number 72 12 6 995 901) no further action is necessary and this recall can be closed.
- If it is any other part number, perform the Recall repair.
Follow ISTA Repair Instructions for removal/installation of air bag assembly:
- REP 72 12 000 – Removing and installing or replacing air bag module on passenger side
In addition to the repair instructions and to assist you in performing this repair, refer to a step-by-step video on how to remove the air bag from the vehicle.
- tinyurl.com/V650117
Warning! Incorrect handling may result in triggering of the air bag module and thereby cause serious injury.
- Comply with safety regulations for handling components with gas generators.
- Do not exert any force on the air bag module.
- Use only specified tools for releasing the air bag module.
The only parts allowed to be installed in this repair are the part numbers supplied in the PARTS INFORMATION section.
The replacement air bag module’s serial number must be documented on the repair order so it can also be entered into the claim’s comment section.
| The dash cover and center console have sharp edges that can cut into the dashboard or seat during removal. Take precautions to prevent contact that can damage the interior.
Note: Please make sure the blower motor wiring is routed correctly behind the crash-pad prior to reinstallation of the dashboard. After installation of the air bag, if there are any noises during the road test:

PARTS INFORMATION
Please monitor the Parts Matrix and DCS messages for the parts ordering procedure.
Only use and invoice the part numbers below that apply.
Performing a part number look-up in ETK (EPC) by VIN or model in place of using/invoicing the following part numbers may result with the wrong part number(s) being invoiced and installed, this could delay the payment of claim.
| Part Number: | Description: | Quantity: |
| 72 12 6 995 901 | Air Bag Passenger Front (Final repair part) | 1 |
| 07 11 9 905 949 | Hex Nut M6 | 8 |
PARTS RETENTION
Recalled parts that are removed from BMW vehicles cannot be used for resale!
The parts replaced to perform and submit for this Recall repair procedure are the property of BMW NA.
Your center is responsible for the proper identification, storage and documentation of these parts. They must be held in a secure retention area until notification of claim payment is made by BMW NA through DCSnet.
Upon claim payment, a DCSnet part return tag will be generated for the passenger’s front air bag module with special handling instructions.
- Please DO NOT return these recalled air bag modules directly to Lightning Resources or the WPRC.
Inflatable air bags are classified as dangerous goods by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and require special preparation, packing and labeling for transport.
Your center is responsible for following all rules and regulations that apply to shipping dangerous goods as described in the attachment.
A shipping procedure has been created for returning the replaced air bag modules directly to Takata. There is also a procedure available for “Bulk Shipping 15 or more air bag modules” at one time to Takata.
These procedures are contained in the “Part Return Program Instructions” and “Bulk Ship” PDF attachments to this bulletin; please read both of them. Effective immediately, please use the following email address when scheduling bulk shipment returns to Takata:
Scfieldaction.14305@xpo.com
The parts are to be packaged in the same packaging that the new part arrived in for shipment back to Takata.
The parts returns pickup schedule has been changed from weekly to every two weeks (bi-weekly).

Q4. Why is this recall just coming out now?
The recall schedule follows the guidelines published by NHTSA in the May 2016 amended Takata Recall Coordinated Remedy Order.
Q5. If I had my passenger front air bag module replaced prior, do I need to have it replaced again?
Yes. This final replacement part is ammonium–nitrate free. Please contact your authorized BMW center immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free repair performed as soon as possible.
Q6. What is difference between the interim and the final repair?

The interim repair was an inflator with ammonium nitrate-based propellant.
Q7. What is the fix?
The passenger front air bag module will be replaced.
Q8. How long will the repair take?
This FREE repair may take about 4 hours; however, additional time may be required depending upon your BMW center’s schedule.
Q9. How will I be notified of this recall?
You will receive a letter by the beginning of March via First Class mail, advising you of this recall. To ensure BMW of North America, LLC has your most recent contact and vehicle information, please register your vehicle at https://www.bmwusa.com/myBMW. Registration is free, and will give you access to factory initiated campaigns and other information specific to your BMW vehicle.
Q10. Do I have to wait for my letter in order to have my vehicle serviced?

Takata’s investigation to date indicates that exposure to certain environmental conditions (several years of exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity) could lead to overly aggressive combustion in the event of air bag deployment.
Q13. What is desiccant?
Put simply, desiccant is a substance with properties that enable it to soak up water vapor from the air surrounding it.
Q14. What can happen as a result of this issue?
In a crash where the air bag deploys, the air bag inflator housing may rupture and could cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.

No. There is no way to detect if your BMW might have an air bag inflator potentially at risk of rupturing upon deployment in an accident.
Q16. How did BMW become aware of this issue?
BMW became aware of this issue from Takata (the air bag module supplier) and NHTSA.
Q17. Can I continue to drive my vehicle?
Yes. However, you should have this service performed by an authorized BMW center as soon as possible. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers of this important information.
Q18. I did not receive a letter from BMW regarding my vehicle. How can I find out if my BMW is included in this recall?
You can check for open recalls a few different ways. You can check for open recalls by entering your vehicle identification number (VIN) at www.bmwusa.com/recall and download a sample owner notification letter and Q&A if your VIN is affected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL – Final Remedy Available
This notice applies to your vehicle,
Recall Campaign No. 20V-016: Passenger’s Air Bag Module
March 2020
Dear BMW Owner / Lessee:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. BMW AG has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Model Year 2007-2012 BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicles and X6 Sports Activity Coupes.
Why are we contacting you?
Our records indicate that your vehicle may have had an interim (“like-for-like”) passenger’s air bag module repair performed under a previous air bag recall before final remedy parts were available. We are pleased to inform you that the final remedy is now available. Please contact your nearest authorized BMW Center (www.bmwusa.com/dealer) immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free repair performed as soon as possible.
What could happen?
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger’s air bag, excessive internal pressure could cause the air bag to explode, resulting in metal fragments striking the passenger or other occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information.
What will BMW do?
Your vehicle will be inspected to confirm the type of passenger’s air bag module/inflator that is currently installed. The inspection will be performed for FREE.

1 Associated Investigation
Air Bag Inflator Rupture
NHTSA ID: EA15001
Dated opened: February 24, 2015
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers. All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.
During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers. Nonetheless, at ODI’s insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation. The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures. As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.
Takata’s initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida. Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas. Takata’s testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions. During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.
Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina. Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls. Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity. Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing. All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.
The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time. ODI’s investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.
The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
