1999 BMW 328I Recalls (3)
- Campaign:
- 99V063000 on 03/28/1999
- Component:
- Air bags:side/window
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1998 - 03/24/1999
- Affected:
- 34,701
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. these vehicles are built with a side air bag system consisting of door-mounted thorax air bags (rear door air bags are optional), a head protection system (hps) for front occupants, a central electronic sensor and diagnostic system, left and right satellite impact sensors, and associated wiring. this system is unduly sensitive to certain non-crash impacts, such as contacting large potholes or curbs at substantial speed.
- Consequence:
- This could cause the side air bag and hps to deploy without an actual side crash. in addition, the battery safety terminal (bst) would also activate, disconnecting the starter cable from the battery. in this case, vehicle electrical system would continue to operate and the engine would continue to run, but after stopping, could not be restarted.
- Correction:
- Dealers will reprogram the central computer control module that regulates the performance of all of the vehicle's occupant protection systems.
- Notes:

- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1998 - 03/07/1999
- Affected:

- Defect:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. it is possible that the retaining clip that secures the brake booster pushrod to the brake pedal arm was not properly installed during production. it is possible for the clip to detach from the pin on the brake pedal arm allowing the pushrod to disconnect from the arm.
- Consequence:
- If this occurs, braking is not possible.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the clip for tight installation and replace the clip if it is loose.
- Notes:

- Campaign:
- 02V223000 on 08/13/2002
- Component:
- Air bags:side/window
- Manufactured:
- 04/07/1999 - 08/30/1999
- Affected:
- 20,500
- Defect:
- On certain 4-door passenger vehicles, the side air bag system could deploy in certain non-crash impacts, such as when contacting large potholes or curbs at substantial speeds.
- Consequence:
- This could cause the side air bag and head protection system to deploy without an actual side crash or impact severe enough to cause significant visible damage to the vehicle. unexpected deployment of the side air bag could cause serious injury if the occupant's head is resting near the side air bag.
- Correction:
- Dealers will recalibrate the central air bag control module to reduce the possibility of such a non-crash deployment. owner notification began october 25, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
- Notes:
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
