The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure.
    ConsequenceShould the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.

When parts are available, BMW sent a second letter in August and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge.
