1 recall across 2 model years
The BMW 525 has 1 recall covering 2001-2002 model years, where the driver's frontal airbag inflator can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a serious injury risk to the driver and other occupants.
This is the Takata airbag inflator issue. On affected 2001-2002 vehicles, a crash that triggers the driver's airbag can cause the inflator to burst apart rather than inflate normally, turning the inflator housing into a source of metal shrapnel directed toward the driver's seat.
