Recall 20V243000: BMW 530E, BMW 530I, BMW 540I
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Summary
The problem. BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2017 530i, 530i xDrive, 540i and 540i xDrive and 2017-2018 530e xDrive vehicles. Prior exposure to excessive levels of humidity within the driver and passenger head air bag inflators may affect the proper deployment of the head air bags.

The fix. BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right head air bag, free of charge. The recall began June 24, 2020. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
