Another Air Bag Recall

[mr.fabulous]

My local newspaper runs news articles from AP. This comes from this afternoon:

BMW added 840,000 later in the day for the same problem. That recall includes certain 1 Series coupes and convertibles from 2008 to 2013, 3 Series sedans from 2006 to 2011, the 335d sedan from 2009 to 2011, and the 3 Series Sports Wagon from 2006 to 2012. Also covered are the 2007 to 2013 3 Series Coupe and Convertible, the X1 SUV from 2013 to 2015, the X3 SUV from 2007 to 2010, the X5 SUV from 2007 to 2013, the X5 xDrive35d SUV from 2009 to 2013, the X6 SUV from 2008 to 2014, and the X6 SUV Hybrid from 2010 and 2011.

There should also be a recall on all 18 inch or bigger alloy wheels. There's a lot of complaints of cracked rims.

Sounds like BMW is cutting corners everywhere it can these days.
