BMW Recalls 1.6M 3-Series Cars for Air Bag Problem
Source: ABC News
BMW is expanding a recall of its most popular models to fix an air bag problem that is hitting much of the global auto industry.
The German automaker says it will recall 1.6 million 3-Series cars from model years 2000 to 2006 across the world, including 574,000 in the U.S.
The company said Wednesday that it's a precaution because other automakers using similar systems have reported problems.
Air bag inflators in systems made by Takata Corp. can rupture. If that happens, the bags might not work properly, and shards could fly out and cause injury.
