BMW Canada is recalling 3,574 cars due to a faulty airbag. Affected models include the 2002-2003 BMW 3 Series.
The problem is that the passenger's front airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. This may cause the inflator to rupture, allowing fragments to be propelled toward the occupants.
In addition, if the airbag module is damaged, the airbag won't properly deploy during a crash.
Consequently, BMW dealers will replace the passenger's front airbag.
