BMW Recall : Air Bag Inflator May Explode Or Underinflate Bag
1999 BMW 318
The inflator could explode during air bag deployment, resulting in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
