Model Year 2000-2003
3 391 vehicles may be affected. Please note that vehicles may only be affected if a new steering wheel has been fitted in the life of the vehicle.
Some vehicles may have received an affected Takata driver side airbag due to a steering wheel conversion during the life of the vehicle.
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.
Learn MoreKnown owners will be contacted by BMW Australia Ltd or a BMW dealer.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local BMW dealership or BMW head office directly via the website at https://www.bmw.com.au/recall to arrange for a free airbag inspection. If a faulty airbag is found, it will be replaced free of charge.
