BMW Recall ref. Steering Wheel Airbag Renewal

sp2c · 26-03-2017, 07:28 PM

Is this common knowledge?
Who has had this work carried out?

Yeah I found this out by browsing on cutters, then called them up and booked it in. Didn't have a letter this time. Call your local dealer, tell them not to wash it, go drink some coffee and eat some lotus biscuits. Sorted.

What is the recall number?

Yanto · 27-03-2017, 09:02 AM

I had this done 3-4 years back....is this a further issue or are people catching up still ?

3 years ago was probably passenger side airbag.
This time around its all about the Drivers side.

So they couldnt have done both same time

It was indeed the passengers side a couple of years back, it's now the drivers side.

They have just released another batch of chassis numbers, so if yours hasn't been done I would expect you to get a letter soon.

I rang to book my MOT for next Thursday and was informed they wanted to undertake the warranty airbag work then.
