NHTSA issues an airbag warning to 7.8 million cars impacted by the Takata airbags recall which affects certain Toyota, Honda, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors vehicles.
Takata informed the companies earlier this month that faulty inflators may have slipped through the cracks and been delivered to manufacturers because of faulty record-keeping.
“The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration urges owners of certain Toyota, Honda, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors vehicles to act immediately on recall notices to replace defective Takata airbags,” the agency said in a statement Tuesday, adding there should be particular urgency in areas of high humidity such as Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.”
BMW and NHTSA say 627,615 vehicles are affected by this recall. The list of models can be seen below:
- 2000-05 3-series sedan
- 2000-06 3-series coupe
- 2000-05 3-series sports wagon
- 2000-06 3-series convertible
- 2001-06 M3 coupe
- 2001-06 M3 convertible
This is the same recall that was issued in July 2014 and BMW has already began to notify owners and dealers, and will replace the airbag where necessary.

E92 FTW…no recall :)
:) Not yet.
Is mini Cooper on the recall air bag list?
Doesn’t seem to be
Just saw some pictures of airbag victims. Nobody in their right mind would drive one of these recalled vehicles until the issue is resolved !
Honda is renting cars for their recall customers until airbags can be replaced. Why isn’t BMW doing the same. I do not want to drive my car until it’s fixed.
I recently picked up my X3 (after 5 months) Guess what? The airbag light is STILL on. I reported it to BMW North America. They seem to be trying to help me, but I am scared each time I get behind the wheel. I am going to give them another couple of days before I hire someone to help me fight for NO AIRBAG LIGHT ON!
is the 320i bmw auto sedan E36 onthe list for airbag
thanks . jl
