AutoExec Summary
The largest safety recall in Australian history has returned, with BMW issuing a recall notice for over 60,000 cars built between 2004 and 2017. Some vehicles may have faulty Takata inflators in steering wheel variants installed after production, which could rupture and cause serious injury or death in the event of airbag deployment. Affected customers are being notified to check and replace the airbag if necessary free of charge. The recall is part of an international campaign involving almost 400,000 cars in the US. Faulty Takata airbag inflators have been linked to numerous deaths and injuries globally. Owners of affected vehicles in Australia need to upload photos of their steering wheel and VIN chassis plate to BMW’s recall website or book their car in with dealers for inspection.
