NHTSA recall 96V110000
Air Bags · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The air bag contact ring locking tab located in the steering wheel assembly can break without warning.
Why it matters: If this happens, the contact ring wiring could eventually break. The air bag readiness indicator lamp (SRS or airbag) in the instrument cluster will illuminate, and the air bag would not deploy in the event of a frontal impact vehicle collision.
The fix: Dealers will replace the locking tab with one of a different design.
