3 recalls across 9 model years
The BMW 330 has 3 recalls spanning the 2000-2011 model years, all involving the driver's frontal airbag inflator, which can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury or death to the driver and other occupants.
All three recalls share the same core defect. On 2006-2011 models, the driver-side airbag inflator can rupture during deployment. The 2000-2002 model years are covered by two separate recalls for the same failure: one affecting original-equipment inflators, and a second covering vehicles where the driver airbag was previously replaced, whether after a crash or as part of an earlier repair attempt, since that replacement part carries the same rupture risk as the original.
