Two problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2012 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2017

Takata recall (this is more of a concern and request for help rather than an incident. I was directed to this website by the recall notice. No other instructions other than the url were given) I live on galveston island in texas, south of houston. It is one of the hottest, most humid places in the us. My passenger side airbag was recalled in March of 2017. Despite repeated requests to BMW, they still will not replace the recalled airbag. I am concerned because in April 2016, not far from where I live, a 17 year old girl was killed by shrapnel from her airbag in a crash that she otherwise would have walked away from.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem
