<KEY RECALL STATS>

Reason:

BMW has announced that it is recalling an additional 1,145 vehicles due to exploding airbags. An airbag inflator (made by Takata) explosion can send metal fragments into a driver’s face or others in the car, causing severe injury. Last week, BMW had to recall over 300,000 vehicles due to the same issue. Models impacted (for the latest recall) include 2014 5-Series, 2015 6-Series Gran Coupe, 2013-14 X3 and 2014 X5 and M4. The defective Takata airbag is present in other automakers. To learn more, view the full list of affected models.
