Known Recall Investigations
  • 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.

  • Loss of power assist braking investigation # PE13030

    In a letter dated september 26, 2013, bmw group submitted a safety recall notice to nhtsa identifying a defect condition in the vacuum pump oil supply that may result in loss of power assist braking in 76,191 model year (my) 2012 through 2014 bmw 3-series, 5-series, x1 sav, x3 sav, and z4 vehicles equipped with 4-cylinder engines (nhtsa recall 13v-454).According to bmw, movement of the seal disk within the camshaft may result in blocking of the oil supply to the vacuum pump, resulting in improper pump operation and loss of power assist braking.On july 11, 2013, bmw initiated a change to the camshaft geometry that prevented the seal disk from blocking the oil port.Bmw has not received any braking complaints related to loss of power assist after the design change was implemented in production.The owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to a bmw dealer who will install a locking ring into the camshaft to keep the seal disk in its proper location.Bmw expects to begin dealer and owner notification in november 2013 and complete dealer and owner notification in december when the remedy is expected to be available.Based on the actions taken by bmw, this investigation is closed.

Faulty turbo hose causes oil to leak and smoke from engine. Seems to be common problem that i wish bmw would address.

I was driving home on a city street when the engine light began to flash. I was getting close to being home so i continued to drive to try to safely get my car off the street. It then began to drive slower and slower even as i was stepping fully on the gas peddle (well below the city street limit of 35, as cars started to go around me). The car then completely shut off. I luckily had made it to a neighborhood road and was able to glide over to the side as much as possible. However, because the car was no longer operational it was still in the street and i was stranded in the rain until the tow truck got there hours later. Once i put the car in park it would not go back to neutral so i had to wait for a specific tow truck. Once my mechanic was able to take a look he said that the timing belt had broken and destroyed the engine. In his opinion this is unheard of in a car with just over 70,000 miles and 6 years old. I had just purchased the car from a high end used dealership 5 months prior and they said they found that bmw had put an extended warranty on the timing belt for 70,000/7 years for this specific issue. When i called bmw they would do nothing because the warranty was no longer in effect, even a mile over 70,000. They clearly know this is an issue with this vehicle and never properly remedied a very serious safety issue. My normal commute is all freeway. This could have been a very serious, if not fatal accident if it had occurred on the freeway.

Turbo waste gate actuator rod rusted out. This immediately led to loss of turbo-charging, leading to a dangerous situation due to low engine output. There is no warning prior to this occurring. This is a systemic problem for this model/engine as evidenced by the bmw tsb: https://static.Nhtsa.Gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10154818-9999.Pdf i feel this issue is widespread enough and unsafe enough to merit a recall of the actuator unit/rod -- at least in northern states that use salt on their roads

Our parked bmw x3 was in our driveway turned off when it suddenly burst into flames and also caught our house on fire and our neighbors house. There is currently no recall on this year and model. No engine lights were on and we regularly service our car only with certified bmw mechanics. The car is completely burnt to the ground. After further research this is not the first time the x3 has caught on fire and burnt down someone's home and yet no recall and bmw has yet to take responsibility. We have everything on our security cameras.

I purchased a vehicle in good faith from bmw on 12/23/2019 what i thought would be a great christmas present, for myself. Little did i know i was buying a road hazard. In less than two months a tire light came on, i took the vehicle a guy a the service desk reset the light it never went off i then took the vehicle again to have it looked at and i was told it was a $4600 repair. I was totally taken aback. I advised the dealership that i would not pay for a problem that was clearly there when i purchased the vehicle. I told bmw i would not pay for the repair of $4600, considering it appeared to be an underline problem that was not disclosed when i purchased the vehicle.
