View Date:2024-12-23 11:56:31
BMW of North America is recalling more than 394,000 cars due to concerns over airbag inflators that could explode, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Per the agency, an explosion could cause "sharp metal fragments striking the driver" and other riders, ultimately resulting in injury or death.
The car dealer recalled certain 2006-2012 Series Sportswagon, 2006-2011 3 Series Sedan, and 2009-2011 3 Series Sedan. Service centers will evaluate and change the customer's airbag module if necessary.
Owner notifications will be mailed on August 23, 2024.
