RECALL: BMW Recalls Over 390K Vehicles Over Airbag Combustion Risk
If you drive a BMW, it may be time to take it in for repairs! Because there's an issue with the airbag that could lead to serious death or injury.
BMW is recalling 394,029 vehicles nationwide due to an issue with the airbag inflator that can explode when deployed.
According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration:
"The original steering wheel may have been replaced with a sport or M-sport steering wheel equipped with an inflator that can explode during deployment."
What could happen if the inflator combusts? Sharp fragments may explode from the vehicle, injuring the driver and other passengers, and may even lead to death.
