BMW 3 Series E46 MY1999-2006
Vehicles that recieved an affected front passenger side Takata Airbag Inflator as a replacement.
These affected Takata Airbag Inflators were installed as part of an earlier recall PRA 2013/13576.
Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
Learn MoreIn the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
