Heads up (or down) BMW owners. Older BMW model cars may be at risk of exploding air bags. Takata once again is the culprit.

Years ago, Jeep had the same problem with the Takata airbags, and recalled many thousands.

Why is Takata still in business?

Millions of vehicles have been recalled due to Takata airbags. I had a 2008 Ford Edge that was recalled in 2018. There was a waiting list for replacement airbags. I drove a Chevy Equinox LT rental for free for 6 weeks. Good vehicle and I racked up a lot of miles on it due to traveling back and forth to a new house we were refurbing. Ford footed the bill no questions asked.

I had a Honda from that era that was recalled for Takata airbag replacement.

This recall has been out there for years - I had the airbag in my 2004 E46 M3 replaced. It’s free, and it doesn’t take much time.
