1 recall across 2 model years
The BMW 540 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 defect. When the airbag fires in a crash, the inflator housing can burst apart rather than inflate the bag normally, turning metal pieces into projectiles inside the vehicle.
