The Problem: The vehicles have Takata's PSDI-5 driver side airbag inflators, and the parts could rupture in a crash.
Injuries/Deaths: None reported in this population of vehicles.
The Fix: BMW will replace the driver airbag on these vehicles.
If You Own One: BMW will send owners a letter advising them about the recall, and people will receive a second letter when the parts are available for the repairs
More Information: This recall stems from Takata and NHTSA's announcement in late January that automakers need to repair about five million vehicles. Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Ford, Mazda, and Honda have already announced recalls due to this expansion.
