What's wrong?
The inner-left roof frame on the 2025 BMW X4 is part of the body structure above the cabin on the driver's side. It helps form the roof opening and sits near the head air bag, which is designed to inflate along the side of the cabin in a crash and help protect an occupant's head.
On affected X4 vehicles, that roof-frame piece was not produced to BMW's specifications. The problem is a small crack in the inner-left roof frame near the head air bag. During deployment, the cracked frame edge can damage the air bag as it inflates. If the air bag is damaged, crash protection from that head air bag is reduced.
An owner will not feel this defect during normal driving. There is no warning sign before failure. The issue shows up only if the head air bag deploys in a crash, so the VIN check and dealer inspection are what confirm whether a specific X4 is included.
Who's affected?
The scope ties the inner-left roof frame to both body structure and air bag system concerns.
| 2025 BMW X4 | body structure |
|---|---|
| 2025 BMW X4 | air bag system |
| Units affected | 130 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the roof frame damages the air bag during deployment, the air bag offers less protection and increases injury risk in a crash. There is no warning sign listed before a crash, so confirm whether your 2025 X4 is included and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised BMW dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 BMW X4 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised BMW dealer to schedule the free inner-left roof-frame inspection.
- Schedule the roof-frame repair if the dealer finds a crack near the head air bag; the repair helps prevent air bag damage during deployment.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 24V910 when you call.
- Avoid delaying the repair once your VIN is confirmed; a damaged head air bag can increase injury risk in a crash.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a BMW technician inspects the inner left roof frame near the head air bag and repairs it if needed. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Prior repairs for this condition are handled through BMW's New Vehicle Limited Warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
