BMW is recalling 391,274 vehicles of the X5, X5M, X6 and X6M model series built between 2006 and 2014 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the measure is a fault in the gas generator of the driver and passenger airbag, which can lead to uncontrolled deployment and the detachment of metal fragments when triggered.
Both the driver and passenger airbags are replaced in the workshop. The KBA investigates the measure under the reference number “012800” while the internal manufacturer codes are “0032430300” and “0072500200“.
