August 02, (THEWILL) – BMW (China) Automotive Trading Ltd is recalling 8,097 vehicles due to safety risks in airbag inflators.
A statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation, on Monday, said the BMW vehicles involve imported 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series and 5 Series.
Others include X1, X3, X4, X 5, X 5 M, X6, and X6 Active Hybrid cars manufactured between Feb. 17, 2005, and Aug. 27, 2017.
The statement said, when the airbags of these cars are being inflated, the flawed gas generating agent could cause overpressure that may break up the inflators and pose safety hazards.
The automaker has promised to replace the faulty parts free of charge.
