BMW X3: Front Passenger Airbag May Not Deploy Correctly
- Recalling firm
- BMW
- Product
- Vehicles: BMW X3. Units affected: 4
- Reason
- The defect concerns the front passenger air bag. The skin of certain instrument panels was not correctly scored. In case of accident with air bag deployment the predetermined breaking point will not tear open resulting in the air bag deploying in the instrument panel. This will lead to insufficient restraint effect and possibly release of parts of the air bag system into the passenger compartment. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the instrument panel.
