An official Health Canada notice concerns Bmw. Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem may cause the front passenger seat position not to be recognized. If this happens, the airbag warning lamp would turn on, a warning message would be displayed, and the passenger-front airbag, knee airbag, and active headrest would not deploy in a crash. Note: This recall only affects vehicles with the Executive Lounge Seating package. Safety Risk: Airbags that do not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: None of the affected vehicles have been sold to retail customers. BMW will update the vehicle software before the vehicles are sold. BMW recommends that if the airbag warning lamp is on, and a warning message is displayed, you should not transport a person in the front-passenger seat until the recall repairs have been completed.
