The 2007 BMW 325xi has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver's side airbag inflator that can explode during deployment, sending sharp metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury or death.
This airbag defect covers two scenarios: the original inflator and cases where the steering wheel was replaced with a sport or M-sport wheel carrying the same faulty inflator. Both carry the same risk of an explosive failure. There is also a wiring concern involving the heating and air conditioning system, where the wiring and electrical connectors controlling airflow can overheat and melt, raising the risk of a fire even when the vehicle is parked and unattended.
