Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW is recalling certain 2000-2001 BMW 3 Series and 1999-2001 BMW 3 Series vehicles equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators manufactured by Takata. The driver-side air bag inflator may absorb moisture due to a manufacturing issue, which could cause the inflator to explode during deployment or the air bag cushion to underinflate. If the inflator explodes, metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants, and an underinflated air bag may not properly protect occupants, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
To remedy this issue, BMW dealers will replace the driver-side air bag inflator with a newly designed inflator at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 12, 2021. Affected consumers should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to arrange a replacement.
