Default BMW calling in 76k vehicles over airbag issues

From AB





RECALL Subject : Front Seat Occupant Protection Mat

Report Receipt Date: NOV 12, 2013
NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V564000
Component(s): AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected: 76,565
Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC

SUMMARY:
BMW of North America LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2006
325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, model year
2007 328i, 328xi, 335i, 335xi sedans and 328i and 328xi sports wagons,
model year 2006-2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i sedans and 530xi
sports wagons, model year 2006 760i sedans, model year 2006-2007 750i,
750Li, and 760Li sedans, and model year 2006 X5 sports activity
vehicles, equipped with certain seat types. The front passenger seat
occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger
frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop
cracks which could lead to a system failure.

CONSEQUENCE:
Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger
air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.

REMEDY:
BMW will notify owners with an interim notification letter in January
2014 since parts are not currently available. When parts are
available, anticipated to be in March 2014, BMW will send a second
letter and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate
the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. Additionally,
owners of model year 2006-2007 3 Series with standard seats, 5 Series
with comfort seats, and Z4 models, will receive an extended warranty
on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat.
