Your authorized BMW center should be able to answer any questions that you may have regarding your qualifications for reimbursement of a previous repair.  If you qualify for such a reimbursement, your BMW center will also be able to advise you of the manner in which you can expect to receive reimbursement.

Your authorized BMW center should be your primary contact on this issue; however, our Customer Relations and Services Department may be contacted at 1-800-525-7417 for any special assistance that you may require.

In special situations where your authorized BMW center cannot be of assistance, you may submit your written request for reimbursement to:

Customer Relations and Services Department
BMW of North America, LLC
P.O. Box 1227
Westwood, NJ 07675-1227

If you intend to submit a request for reimbursement to our Customer Relations and Services department, your vehicle (if it is still in your possession and was repaired at a facility outside of the BMW center network) will need to be inspected at an authorized BMW center before a claim can be accepted for consideration.  This is to ensure that prior repairs at an outside facility meet BMW standards for recall completion.

IMPORTANTE RETIRADA POR MOTIVOS DE SEGURIDAD

Este aviso se aplica a su vehículo, [INSERT VIN]

Campaña de retirada n.º 20V-243:  Airbag de cabeza

El repuesto está disponible

Junio de 2020

Estimado propietario o arrendatario de un vehículo BMW:

Le enviamos este aviso en virtud de la National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos). BMW AG ha determinado que los vehículos de los modelos de la Serie 5 de BMW, de los años 2017 y 2018 tienen un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de los vehículos motorizados. Según nuestros registros, usted es propietario de un vehículo que podría estar afectado.

 

¿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.

 

¿Qué debo hacer si tengo más preguntas?

Para leer las últimas actualizaciones sobre esta retirada, visite www.bmwusa.com/recall. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre esta retirada, comuníquese con el centro autorizado de BMW. Si necesita asistencia adicional, comuníquese con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW.

Si el centro de BMW no puede resolver el defecto sin cargo o en un plazo razonable, puede notificar al administrador de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito en Carreteras), 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590; llamar a la Vehicle Safety Hotline (Línea gratuita directa de seguridad vehicular) al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), o visitar https://www.safercar.gov.

Le aseguramos que nos importa su seguridad y le pedimos sinceras disculpas si esta retirada le causa algún inconveniente. Recomendamos que usted y sus pasajeros usen el cinturón de seguridad en todo momento. Atentamente,

BMW of North America, LLC

PLAN DE REEMBOLSO A CLIENTES SEGÚN LA TREAD ACT (LEY DE MEJORA DE RETIRADA,

RESPONSABILIDAD Y DOCUMENTACIÓN EN EL TRANSPORTE)

(BMW of North America, LLC)

Si pagó por la reparación descrita en la carta adjunta y desearía que los gastos se consideren para reembolso, póngase en contacto con el centro autorizado de BMW de su localidad.  Se tendrán en cuenta los gastos pagados a instalaciones de reparación que no pertenezcan a la red de centros de BMW; sin embargo, el procedimiento de reparación debe seguir las normas establecidas por BMW.

El centro autorizado de BMW de su localidad le solicitará una copia de la carta de notificación al propietario, al igual que la factura pagada previamente. Después, inspeccionarán el vehículo (si todavía lo tiene) antes de presentar una reclamación en su nombre ante BMW of North America, LLC para solicitar el reembolso.

Tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:

  • Solamente se reembolsan las reparaciones que se deban a esta retirada por motivos de seguridad. No se reembolsarán los gastos derivados, como remolque, alquiler, hospedaje, reparación de daños, etc.
  • El precio de venta minorista sugerido por el fabricante (MSRP) para las piezas genuinas de BMW se considerará como la guía para los cargos razonables por piezas.
  • La mano de obra de la reparación, los impuestos y el desecho de los residuos peligrosos, cuando se hayan pagado previamente, son elegibles para reembolso.
  • Los gastos por las reparaciones realizadas más de 10 días después de la fecha de la última carta de notificación al propietario enviada por BMW no son elegibles para reembolso.

El centro autorizado de BMW de su localidad debe poder responder las preguntas que pueda tener sobre sus calificaciones para el reembolso de una reparación previa. Si califica para dicho reembolso, el centro de BMW de su localidad también podrá informarle sobre cómo puede recibir el reembolso.

El centro autorizado de BMW de su localidad debe ser su contacto principal sobre este tema. No obstante, se puede comunicar con el Customer Relations and Services Department (Departamento de Relaciones con el Cliente y Servicios al Cliente) llamando al 1-800-525-7417 si necesita asistencia especial.

En las situaciones especiales en las que el centro autorizado de BMW de su localidad no pueda ayudarlo, puede presentar una solicitud escrita de reembolso a la siguiente dirección:

Customer Relations and Services Department
BMW of North America, LLC
P.O. Box 1227
Westwood, NJ 07675-1227

Si intenta presentar una solicitud de reembolso ante nuestro Customer Relations and Services Department, su vehículo (si todavía lo tiene y fue reparado en una instalación que no pertenece a la red de centros de BMW) deberá ser inspeccionado en un centro autorizado de BMW antes de que se pueda aceptar una reclamación para consideración.  El fin de este procedimiento es garantizar que las reparaciones previas efectuadas en una instalación externa cumplan con las normas de BMW para la realización de la retirada.
