1 recall across 2 model years
The BMW 530 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 well-known Takata inflator issue. On affected 2001-2002 vehicles, a crash that triggers the driver's airbag can cause the inflator housing to burst rather than inflate the bag normally, turning the module itself into a source of shrapnel rather than protection.
