Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW is recalling certain 2000-2002 325i, 325xi, 323Ci, 325Ci, and 330Ci vehicles that may have had a driver-side air bag module installed as replacement equipment after a crash or as a remedy part for previous recalls. The driver-side air bag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature changes, potentially sending sharp metal fragments toward the driver or occupants and causing serious injury or death.
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the driver's air bag module at no charge. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to inquire about their vehicle.
