BMW is recalling 295,125 Series-1, Series-3 and X3 vehicles manufactured between 2004 and 2005 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is a fault in the gas generator of the driver’s airbag that can lead to uncontrolled deployment when the airbag is triggered and to the release of metal fragments that can injure the occupants.
In an authorised workshop, the driver’s airbag is replaced.
The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14126R“. The internal manufacturer code is “0032600300“.
