BMW issues 'do not drive' order for 90,000 cars with Takata airbags
All of these older models are equipped with a driver-side airbag inflator made by Takata that can send shrapnel flying into the cabin — in the direction of the front passengers — if triggered. BMW notes it has warned owners about the problem several times, and it adds that the problem becomes increasingly serious as the part ages."The risk of serious injury or death increases," it wrote in a statement.
"Owners of affected BMWs that have not had their vehicles inspected and repaired should not consider them safe to drive," it added. BMW will again reach out to motorists who own a car that needs to be repaired in the coming weeks. It will contact them via email in May 2023 and via regular mail in June 2023, and it's going to significant lengths to ensure that all of the cars still equipped with a Takata airbag inflator are repaired in a timely manner.
