Bmw 540i 2017

• Recall 146723 [USA]: In the event of a crash of sufficient severity, deployment of the head air bag may be impaired and/or the igniter could separate from the inflator, increasing the risk of injury.
  Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain 2017 530i, 530i xdrive, 540i and 540i xdrive and 2017-2018 530e xdrive vehicles. Prior exposure to excessive levels of humidity within the driver and passenger head air bag inflators may affect the proper deployment of the head air bags.
  bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right head air bag, free of charge. The recall began june 24, 2020. Owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
  owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

Backup camera is blacking out. Very dangerous. There was a recall for 2018-19 bmw's but not for 2017 bmws. Forums also report a lot of problems with this reverse camera.

"refill coolant" indicator displays even with full reservoirs. Two trips to the dealer so far, for repairs. Comes on when driving or when parked, after driving; after opening driver door. For example, drive one day. Parked over night. Message displays next day when driver door is opened. Goes away again after a drive, without adding any fluid. Same exact issue as others are experiencing here: https://g30.Bimmerpost.Com/forums/showthread.Php?T=1526216&page=1

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 bmw 540i. While driving 55 mph, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle began to jerk without warning. When the vehicle was pulled over, turned off, and restarted, it resumed normal operation. Also, when the vehicle was on any inclined hill or road, the brakes engaged. The vehicle was taken to princeton bmw (3630 quakerbridge rd, hamilton township, nj 08619, (609) 528-4198) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired; however, the dealer replaced the windshield to repair the brake sensors and informed the contact that the brake sensors were located in the windshield. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. An investigation was performed, but no failures were found. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

I had dropped off the vehicle for swapping out my winter tires for all season tires. Their technicians removed the rear seat belt latches and installed them incorrectly. This work was neither approved by me or mentioned on the work order. I was also not verbally informed of this work being performed. This work was clearly not tested or completed properly by their technicians. It caused the rear seat belts to not latch into place correctly and i was unable to install my child's car seat to the car securely. The work was performed by bmw of springfield nj. Had i not tried installing my car seat, i would not have been aware of this issue and there is a possibility that anyone sitting in the rear right or middle seat would not be secure during a crash.
