What’s New (Specific text highlighted):
- Affected Vehicles
- Correction
- Parts
- Warranty
Please perform the procedure outlined in this Service Information on all affected vehicles before customer delivery. In the event the customer has already taken delivery of the vehicle, please perform the procedure the next time the vehicle is in the shop.
MODEL
| E-Series | Model Description | Production Date |
| E46 | 3 Series | February 17 1998 – July 14, 2000 |
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this Recall Campaign to be completed will show it as Open” when checked either in AIR, the Service Menu of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System), ISPA Next or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
SITUATION
BMW
AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective December 4, 2019) on certain Model Year – 1999-2001 BMW
vehicles that were produced between February 17, 1998 – July 14, 2000. These vehicles require a new air bag gas generator to be installed.
This bulletin is for vehicles which already had the inspection process completed but due to a lack of parts availability, have not yet had a new air bag gas generator installed.
OTHER AIR BAG-RELATED FAULTS AND REPAIRS
This Recall applies to an operational driver’s front air bag. The issue addressed will not cause an air bag (SRS) malfunction light to illuminate. It will also not prevent the system from deploying in a front-end collision.
However, a recalled vehicle can arrive at your center with an air bag malfunction light illuminated.
It is important to notify the customer that diagnosing other air bag-related system issues may be required. This diagnosis and corresponding repair work, if needed, is not covered by this Recall.
In this case, replacing the driver’s front air bag gas generator will not correct the other fault code(s).
CAUSE
The single-stage Takata Non-Azide (NADI) Driver gas generator, also known as an air bag inflator, may have been produced with an insufficient seal that could allow moisture to enter the gas generator. The gas generator is a separately replaceable part of the air bag module.
CORRECTION
Replace the driver’s front air bag gas generator.
In the following cases the gas generator replacement should not be done and instead the complete air bag assembly must be replaced:
- Threaded bolts are damaged
- Threaded bolts are bent or corroded
- The gas generator cannot be removed from the air bag without excess force
- If the target tightening torque of the nuts cannot be achieved (5 Nm in a star pattern sequence)
- If there is a gap between the gas generator & air bag that is not closed-up when tightening the nuts
- If there is damage to the air bag cover that may impede deployment of the air bag
If an entire air bag assembly is required but parts are not available, please contact BMW
Customer Relations at 1-800-525-7417 for further support.
If an entire air bag assembly is required but parts are not available, please contact BMW
Customer Relations at 1-800-525-7417 for further support.
Note: Before proceeding with the Recall air bag inspection procedure, please first review the Repair History (Claims) section in the DCSnet Warranty Inquiry for the affected vehicle to see what air bag category was claimed.
PROCEDURE
Follow all safety precautions when handling air bags.
Remove Basic Drivers air bag as per REP 32 34 020 “Removing and installing/replacing airbag unit”
OR
Remove Sports Drivers air bag as per REP 32 34 020 “Removing and installing/replacing the airbag unit (sports steering wheel, inserted airbag unit)”
The serial number of the removed gas-generator AND the new gas-generator must both be stated on the repair order and in the comments section of the warranty claim.
Refer to SI B65 03 20 for details on how to replace a gas generator.
AIR Repair Instructions are now available for the updated gas generator with reinforcement plate. They are attached for general reference.
PARTS INFORMATION
Please monitor the Parts Matrix for ordering procedure.
Only use and invoice the part numbers below that apply.
Performing a part number look-up in ETK (EPC) by VIN or model in place of using/invoicing the following part numbers may result with the wrong part numbers being invoiced and installed. This could delay the payment of claim.
| Part Number | Description | Quantity |
| 32 30 5 A1B D99 | Gas Generator repair kit | 1 |
| TBD | Air Bag | 1 (if required) |
PARTS RETENTION AND RETURN
Recalled parts that are removed from BMW
vehicles cannot be used for resale!
The parts replaced to perform and submit for this Recall repair procedure are the property of BMW
NA.
Your center is responsible for the proper identification, storage and documentation of these parts. They must be held in a secure retention area until notification of claim payment is made by BMW
NA through DCSnet.
Upon claim payment and based on the replacement front air bag component part number claimed, a DCSnet part return tag will be generated with special handling instructions.
Please DO NOT return these recalled air bag components to the Warranty Parts Return Center (WPRC).
Inflatable air bags are classified as dangerous goods by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and require special preparation, packing and labeling for transport.
Your center is responsible for following all rules and regulations that apply to shipping dangerous goods as described in the attachment.
A shipping procedure has been created for returning the replaced air bag modules directly to Takata. There is also a procedure available for Bulk Shipping 15 or more air bag modules at one time to Takata.
These procedures are contained in the Part Return Program Instructions and Bulk Ship PDF attachments to this bulletin; please read both of them. Effective immediately, please use the following email address when scheduling bulk shipment returns to Takata:
Scfieldaction.14305@xpo.com
The parts are to be packaged in the same packaging that the new part arrived in for shipment back to Takata.
The returns pickup schedule has been changed from weekly to every two weeks (bi-weekly).
Any parts not received within the 60 day part submission timeline may be subject to a claim debit.

Claim Repair Comments
Only reference the SIB number and the work package (Pkg) number performed in the RO technician notes and the claim comments (For example: B65 06 20 WP 1), unless otherwise required by State law.
Reimbursement of Prior Customer-Pay Repairs (TREAD Act)
With this Technical Campaign, a prior repair reimbursement is not likely. Typically, a customer would have the driver’s front air bag module replaced as a result of an accident. In such a case, either an insurance company or the customer themselves paid for the replacement of the above mentioned air bag module in conjunction with the accident repairs. Such cases are not covered by this campaign and are not entitled to reimbursement.
