AirBag Recall

Nico · 01-11-2014, 11:28 AM

Morning all.

Got home from work yesterday to a letter from BMW UK stating that the CSL needs a new Passenger Side Airbag...

ANyone else had one yet? Guessing a fair few of us will given that our cars were probably all fitted with the same units since they were built almost arsehole to beak...

They are saying that due to supply of new parts, book it in in the new year...

I guess it's not only CSLs or even M3s or E46 affected? Could be lots of cars..

Good few of us have already had it done. Not everyone has had a letter, and there seemed to be some confusion at the start if the CSL was included

Thanks - so it is a recent thing...

Despite some confusion on the thread you linked, it seems CSLs most definitely are included now - it's my VIN on the top for sure...

Not received a letter, but was recently at the dealers for an Inspection I and they did it as a matter of course.
They didn't however ask/tell me about the SMG update which could have been done at the same time, not best pleased.

Have my recall letter, but of course it says there are no parts in stock and they don't know when there will be...

I'm booked in to have mine changed.
