1 recall across 1 model year
The BMW 318i has 1 recall affecting the 1991 model year, where an incorrectly installed driver-side knee bolster can block the steering column from moving forward during a crash, preventing it from absorbing impact energy and raising the risk of serious chest injury to the driver.
When the steering column cannot collapse as designed, the driver's body decelerates too abruptly in a frontal collision, exceeding the force limits the system is built to manage.
