2006 BMW 530XI Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 BMW 530xi has two recalls, the more serious being an electrical short in the crankcase ventilation valve heater that can melt surrounding components and start a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and off. The second recall involves the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, which can fail and cause the front passenger airbag to deactivate, leaving that occupant without airbag protection in a crash. This airbag recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with the Sport Seat option or standard seats, as specified in the recall filing.
