YevJenko 12 Report post Posted October 20, 2017 has it been covered which models this affects? Also a point to ponder - as a lot of our cars are imported from Japan where it can be hotter (and colder) than here, i wonder if there is an increased likelihood of the bags going postal?

E39, E46 and E53 X5s are affected according to the recall website. Japan's weather varies more than ours in temperature, but our weather is much more humid (yearly average in the mid 80s here) than theirs (yearly average in the mid 50s) and this recall is humidity based, so the Japanese weather isn't the problem... That said, there are no known cases if an airbag failure here. I don't know about in Japan. Edited October 20, 2017 by Gabe79 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
