2014 BMW 328D Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 BMW 328D has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate airbag inflator defects where a rupturing or exploding inflator can send metal fragments into the cabin, raising the risk of serious injury or death. The side and window airbag inflators can rupture and scatter sharp metal fragments both inside and outside the vehicle. The driver-side front airbag inflator carries a similar risk, with an explosive failure that can send fragments toward the driver or other occupants. These are separate issues affecting the same vehicle. There is also a diesel-specific fire risk: the exhaust gas recirculation module can cause the intake manifold to melt, which can lead to an engine fire. This recall applies only to diesel-equipped models. On the drivetrain side, this recall only affects xDrive all-wheel-drive variants: the constant-velocity joint that transfers power between the transfer case and the rear driveshaft can wear and fail, cutting power to the rear wheels and reducing the driver's ability to maintain control.
