E46 Airbag Recall
BMW will recall 76,565 vehicles due to a defect in the front passenger seat occupant detection mat. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash. This mat may fatigue and develop cracks, which could lead to a system failure. If the electronic sensing mat in the front passenger seat fails, this will disable the front passenger air bag and the air bag will not deploy during a crash.
