2000 BMW 325I Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2000 BMW 325i has 2 recalls, both involving Takata airbag inflators that can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

Both the driver and front passenger airbag inflators are affected. The driver-side recall involves a specific non-azide inflator type that may have been installed during a prior repair, while the passenger-side recall covers inflators using a propellant that can become unstable and explode with greater force. In either case, the danger occurs when the airbag deploys in a crash and the inflator casing fails, turning the airbag module itself into a source of flying metal rather than protection.
