1 recall across 6 model years
The BMW 325xiT has 1 recall covering 2000-2005 model years, involving a Takata passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode with excessive force, sending sharp metal fragments into the cabin and causing serious injury or death.
This is part of the broader Takata airbag recall that affected a wide range of vehicles across the industry. On 2000-2005 models, the passenger frontal airbag inflator uses a propellant that can degrade over time, particularly with exposure to heat and humidity. When the airbag deploys, the inflator can rupture rather than inflate normally, scattering metal shards toward the passenger seat occupant. The defect is in the inflator itself, not the airbag cushion, so the bag may appear intact while the housing fails violently.
