2009 BMW 335D Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 BMW 335D has 4 recalls, the most serious being a driver-side airbag inflator that can explode during deployment and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

Two separate airbag recalls cover this risk: one applies to the original steering wheel, and another covers vehicles where the original steering wheel may have been replaced with a sport or M-sport wheel, both carrying the same explosive inflator hazard. On the electrical side, the wiring and connectors that control airflow for the heating and air conditioning system can overheat and melt, raising the risk of a fire even when the car is parked and unattended. There is also a concern with the positive battery cable connection at the fuse box, which can degrade over time and cause intermittent loss of electrical power, potentially stalling the vehicle while driving.
