Summary

NHTSA records recall 19V851000, published December 2, 2019 and initiated November 26, 2019. Recalling firm: BMW of North America, LLC; 1999 Bmw 328i | 1999 Bmw 323i — Air bags: frontal: driver side: inflator module.

What's the hazard

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 1999 323i and 328i vehicles equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) manufactured by Takata at one specific inflator production facility.
