Steps to Make a BMW Airbag Recall Claim

Both new BMWs and older models are subject to recalls. You never know when one might come about, making it imperative to stay informed and stay on top of car repairs. You always want your vehicle in the best shape possible so you can drive safely.

Recalls can be for any number of parts within your vehicle. A BMW airbag recall is the most recent, with the Takata brand experiencing difficulties. Work with DoNotPay to help get your recall handled promptly, so you don't have to worry.

Where to Find Out More About BMW Recalls?

You have several options when it comes to learning about any, and all BMW recalls. First, look at the BMW website itself. This is one of the best places to go for information and begin a recall process. You can start searching recalls by VIN.

The website also gives you access to an account signup. Here, you can view your garage, check out financial services, monitor your account details, and connect to the BMW Connected app. You'll get notified about recalls when you have an account.

You also have the option of looking at Consumer Reports. In 2020, more than 350,000 vehicles were recalled due to an airbag problem. It covered a wide range of models made between 2000 and 2013. BMW's response was to fix everyone's airbags for free.

How to Make a Claim for the BMW Airbag Recall?

If you haven't yet made your airbag recall claim, you may still be able to do so. You can:

• Contact your local BMW dealership to discuss your options
• Call the BMW customer service line at 1-800-525-4717

The answer typically involves BMW offering a repair free of charge. You can get the recalled part fixed promptly and be on your way. Don't expect any sort of refund or significant compensation.

What BMW Recalls Have There Been in the Past?

Besides the airbag problems, BMW has had some major recalls in the past. They've experienced problems with:

1. The 2017 i3 model
2. A coolant leak in diesel models made between 2010 and 2017
3. PCV valve heaters in 2017
4. Steering wheels in 2018 and 2019 models with the Lane Assist feature

It seems 2017 was a lousy year for BMW. Since, there haven't been as many issues reported, with only a handful of models experiencing difficulties.

2022 Versions May Already Be Having Problems

Kelly Blue Book indicates some potential problems with some 2022 BMW versions. Roughly 2,577 vehicles are said to be affected so far. A few models have a license plate that isn't getting appropriately illuminated. BMW will modify the rear license plate brackets for free if your car falls under this category.
