BMW is recalling 358,071 vehicles worldwide with model series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, M2, M3, M4, X1, X3, X4, X5, X5M, X6 and X6M manufactured from 2012 to 2014. The reason for the measure is a fault in the gas generator of the passenger airbag; this can lead to uncontrolled deployment when the airbag is deployed and to the release of metal fragments that could injure the occupants. In Germany, 78,302 vehicles are affected.
The airbag module on the passenger side will be replaced in the workshop by a component with a different propellant. The KBA is monitoring the recall under the reference numbers “012378”, and the internal code is “0032390300”.
