URGENT SAFETY RECALL: BMW SUVs in the U.S. have been found to have faulty air bag inflators that can explode and cause serious harm to occupants in a crash. This recall is in response to the potential danger posed by Takata Corp. air bags found in 486 X3, X4, and X5 SUVs from the 2014 model year.
This is part of a larger investigation into Takata inflators, amid concerns about millions of these air bags posing similar risks. In the U.S. alone, at least 26 people have been killed and 400 injured by Takata inflators, leading to a massive recall affecting 67 million inflators.
This recall is especially concerning because the BMWs implicated in this safety issue were equipped with a moisture absorbing chemical that was not part of previous recalls. This adds a new dimension to the potential dangers posed by Takata air bags.
If you own a 2014 X3, X4, or X5, it is important to keep an eye out for further details from BMW about this recall, as the company is still investigating the cause of the issue. Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s investigation covers over 30 million inflators from various car manufacturers, so it’s crucial to stay informed.
Your safety is of the utmost importance, and staying informed about this recall is vital. To read more about this urgent safety matter, click here.
