| Vian kuvaus | According to analysis from Takata and independent test laboratories, a possible degradation of the propellant tablets could lead to an over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated which may cause the inflator body to rupture. Field return tests and study results showed starting an age-related change in characteristics, so that a malfunction of the inflators in future cannot be excluded. If a possible degradation of the propellant tablets occurs, this could lead to an over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated which may cause the inflator body to rupture. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed. A malfunction of the inflators due to an age-related change in characteristics cannot be excluded. The risk will increase according to the age of the vehicle. BMW is not aware of any rupture of an PSDI-5 or PSPI-2-inflator in BMW vehicles. As of 2016 BMW decided several safety recalls for the markets US, CA, AU, CN, JP and KR as well as for further HAH markets (hot and humid) with regard to BMW vehicles equipped with the Takata airbag inflators PSDI-5 and PSPI-2. On May 04, 2023, BMW decided the extension of the existing safety recalls for all other markets (zone 2-4) with regard to BMW E70, E71 and E72 vehicles equipped with the Takata airbag inflators PSDI-5 and PSPI-2. On affected vehicles the passenger airbag module will be replaced. |
