2009 BMW 335XI Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 BMW 335xi has 3 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 recalls cover this airbag inflator issue: one applies broadly to the vehicle's original airbag, and one specifically involves vehicles where the original steering wheel was replaced with a sport or M-sport wheel carrying the same defective inflator. The wiring and electrical connectors that control airflow for the heating and air conditioning system can also overheat, melt, and start a fire, including when the vehicle is parked and unattended.
