The 2019 BMW 440i has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a crankshaft sensor that can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, raising the risk of a crash.
Two airbag recalls cover the remaining issues. The front passenger airbag inflator may not deploy correctly in a crash, leaving the front passenger with less protection than the system is designed to provide. Separately, both the driver and front passenger knee airbags may have been improperly folded during assembly, which can prevent them from deploying as intended in a collision and increase the risk of injury to the lower body.
