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, disclosed that the BMW vehicles involved were imported 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series and 5 Series.
Others included X1, X3, X4, X 5, X 5 M, X6, and X6 Active Hybrid cars manufactured between Feb. 17, 2005, and Aug. 27, 2017.
“When the air bags 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 document stated.
The automaker has promised to replace the faulty parts free of charge.
