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 Model Year 2017-2018 BMW 5 Series vehicles. Our records indicate that you are the owner of a potentially affected vehicle.
Why are we contacting you?
We are pleased to inform you that we are ready to perform this recall.

What will BMW do?
The head air bag (left-side or right-side) will be replaced for free and take approximately two hours. If you already had this procedure performed at your own expense, please see the attachment regarding possible eligibility for reimbursement.
There may be some options to help overcome the inconvenience of bringing your vehicle in for service, if needed. Contact your local BMW center to check what may be available.

¿Por qué nos ponemos en contacto con usted?
Nos complace informarle que estamos listos para realizar esta retirada. Si no se ha hecho la retirada, comuníquese de inmediato con el centro autorizado de BMW para que le hagan esta importante reparación gratis lo antes posible. Visite www.bmwusa.com/dealer para localizar el centro de BMW más cercano. Si usted no es el único conductor de este vehículo, comunique esta información importante a todos los demás conductores y pasajeros.
¿Qué podría suceder?
El inflador del airbag de cabeza (del lado derecho o del lado izquierdo) podría haber estado expuesto a un nivel de humedad superior al de las especificaciones. Esto podría causar que el airbag no se despliegue correctamente. En un choque lo suficientemente grave, el despliegue del airbag de cabeza podría resultar afectado, o el iniciador podría separarse del inflador, lo que aumentaría el riesgo de lesiones.
¿Qué hará BMW?
El airbag de cabeza (del lado derecho o del lado izquierdo) se reemplazará gratis; esto tardará aproximadamente dos horas. Si ya ha hecho este procedimiento por su cuenta, consulte el adjunto sobre la posible elegibilidad para recibir un reembolso.
Podría haber algunas opciones en caso de que sea un inconveniente traer el vehículo para repararlo, si fuera necesario. Comuníquese con su centro local de BMW para ver cuáles son las opciones disponibles.
¿Qué ocurre si no soy el propietario actual de este vehículo?
Si cambió su dirección o vendió el vehículo, nos puede avisar visitando https://www.bmwusa.com/mybmw o comunicándose con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW (BMW Customer Relations) (lea la información de contacto en el lado izquierdo de la página). Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, las reglamentaciones federales requieren que reenvíe este aviso a su arrendatario en un plazo de diez días.
