2011 BMW 328XI Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 BMW 328XI 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.

The airbag concern covers two scenarios: the original inflator and cases where the steering wheel was replaced with a sport or M-sport wheel carrying the same defective inflator. Both carry the same risk of an explosive failure. There is also an electrical concern involving the wiring and connectors that control airflow for the heating and air conditioning system, which can overheat and melt, raising the risk of a fire even when the vehicle is parked and unattended.
