- Recalling firm
- BMW
- Product
- Vehicles: BMW 3 SERIES. Units affected: 7,703
- Reason
- It has been identified that the connections for the left and right hand door pressure sensors have been reversed at their connection with the airbag control unit. This would have the effect of delaying the detection of a side impact thus causing the airbag to be deployed too late. It should be noted that the fault would not be indicted by the illumination of the airbag system warning lamp. Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the pin assignment of the airbag control unit corrected.
