BMW X4 roof crack may damage head airbag
medium How serious is it? About this label
This does not affect how the car drives, but a damaged airbag means less protection in a crash, so schedule the inspection promptly.
What's wrong, in plain English
Certain 2025 BMW X4 xDrive 30i, X4 M40i and X4 M vehicles may have a crack in the metal roof frame on the inner left side, right where the head airbag is tucked in. The head airbag is the one that drops down along the side windows to protect your head in a crash. If the frame is cracked, it can tear or damage the airbag as it inflates, so the airbag may not protect you the way it should. A dealer will inspect the roof frame and repair it if needed.
