  • USA Recall: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. an underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. these scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
    Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain 1999 323i and 328i vehicles equipped with non-azide driver air bag inflators (nadi) manufactured by takata at one specific inflator production facility. these inflators do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) propellant. due to a manufacturing issue, the nadi inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.

    Dealers will inspect the driver air bag inflators and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417. note: bmw recommends that owners do not continue to drive their vehicles.
