BMW Voluntarily Expands Takata Airbag Recall To Include 2004-2006 3-Series ... - The Car Connection

And so, BMW has now enlarged its recall of 3-Series vehicles from the 2004-2006 model years (manufacture date January 2004 to August 2006) to include cars from coast to coast. As with other recall expansions, BMW's only covers driver-side airbags. Recalls of vehicles to replace passenger-side airbags are still limited to certain states and territories with high humidity. NHTSA thinks that nationwide recalls of passenger-side airbags are unnecessary. NHTSA has threatened to force nationwide recalls for driver-side airbags, but so far, it appears that the agency is more bark than bite. Speaking of companies that could do with a little biting, Takata still hasn't admitted that its bags are faulty and has refused to support NHTSA's demand for nationwide recalls.
