2014 BMW 435I Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 BMW 435i has 4 recalls, the most serious involving multiple airbag inflator defects where a rupturing inflator can send sharp metal fragments into the cabin or out of the vehicle, raising the risk of serious injury or death.

Both the side and head curtain airbag inflators, as well as the driver's frontal airbag inflator, are affected. Any of these can rupture during deployment, scattering metal fragments that can strike the driver or passengers. Prior repair attempts on some of these inflators did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple campaigns exist across the airbag system. There is also a fuel system concern: the fuel pump can fail without warning, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving.
