What the notice says today
The defect
The gas generator in the driver’s airbag may break. (Dutch: De gasgenerator in de bestuurdersairbag kan barsten.)
The consequence
When an airbag is activated by an accident, the gas generator can crack. Metal parts can cause fatal injuries under circumstances. BMW explicitly recommends that you stop using your vehicle! (Dutch: Wanneer een airbag door een ongeval wordt geactiveerd , kan de gasgenerator barsten. Metalen delen kunnen onder omstandigheden dodelijke verwondingen veroorzaken. BMW raadt uitdrukkelijk aan uw voertuig niet meer te gebruiken!)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact the brand dealer before the vehicle is used further, which will replace the airbag. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met de merkdealer voordat het voertuig verder wordt gebruikt, deze zal de airbag vervangen.)
