4 recalls across 6 model years
The BMW 135i has 4 recalls covering 2008-2013 model years, with the most serious being a driver's frontal airbag inflator that can rupture or explode during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and causing serious injury or death to the driver or passengers on 2008-2013 models.
The 2008-2012 model years have a separate fire risk: the wiring harness for the blower regulator can overheat, melt its electrical connectors, and start a fire even when the vehicle is parked and unattended. On 2011-2012 models, a constant velocity joint in the driveline can fracture and cause sudden loss of drive power while moving.
