How can I determine whether my vehicle affected by Recall 24V-513 Driver’s Front Air Bag Module has a certain Takata driver air bag inflator that needs to be replaced?

Certain Model Year 2006-2012 BMW 3 Series Sedan and Sports Wagon models in the US are potentially affected by Recall 24V-513 Driver’s Front Air Bag Module. Some customers may have switched their original steering wheel which was not affected, to the sport , or M-sport, steering wheel which may include a potentially affected inflator.

Your vehicle may have a certain Takata driver air bag inflator IF the steering wheel was previously replaced. The driver air bag module will be checked and, if a certain Takata inflator is found, it will be replaced.

There are currently two options available. You may visit an authorized BMW Center. Or, for your convenience, we have also created a website where you can submit documents in order for us to determine if you need to have your driver air bag replaced.
