The 2013 BMW X6 has 5 recalls, the most serious being Takata airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
Multiple recalls cover these airbag inflators, and prior repair attempts have not fully resolved the issue for all affected vehicles. Separately, a power steering fluid leak can spray onto hot exhaust components and start a fire in the engine compartment. On the drivetrain side, water and debris can work into the front driveshaft's universal joint, wearing it down until it fails and the front wheels lose drive power, reducing traction.
