NHTSA recall 19V853000
Air Bags · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with non-azide driver Air bag inflators (nadi) manufactured by takata. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver air bag as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement nadi inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
The fix: Bmw notified owners, and dealers will replace the driver air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2020.
