BMW is telling owners of some older 3-Series cars to stop driving them after another recall of dangerous Takata air bag inflators.
Included are more than 116,000 BMW 3-Series cars from the 1999 to 2001 model years. About 8,000 definitely have faulty inflators and should be parked until they are fixed, BMW said. The rest can still be driven.In addition, certain Audi, Honda, Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles made from 1995 to 2000 also are being recalled, but information on which models was not available.
Toyota and Honda said they’re still figuring out which models will have to be recalled. U.S. safety regulators said Mitsubishi told them that the company’s only U.S. vehicle affected is the 1998 through 2000 Montero. A company spokesman was seeking more information.In a statement, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it’s in discussions with the automakers about the recalls.
BMW is still developing a remedy for the problem, but the company intends to replace faulty inflators with new ones. The company says owners will be notified when parts are available.
