BMW recalls 8,097 defective cars including X3, X5, X6 models

BMW (China) Automotive Trading Ltd is recalling 8,097 defective cars due to safety risks in airbag inflators.

According to a statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation, on Monday, the BMW vehicles involve imported 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series and 5 Series.

Others include X1, X3, X4, X 5, X 5 M, X6, and X6 Active Hybrid cars manufactured between February 17, 2005, and August 27, 2017.

When the airbags of these cars are being inflated, the flawed gas generating agent could cause overpressure that may break up the inflators and pose safety hazards.

The automaker has promised to replace the faulty parts free of charge.
