2008 BMW 1 SERIES Recalls (4)

Campaign:
09V257000 on 07/07/2009
Component:
Air bags:frontal
Manufactured:
05/22/2008 - 07/20/2008
Affected:
2,350
Defect:
Bmw is recalling 2,350 my 2008 1-series and 3- series passenger cars. incorrect crimp connectors may have been used on the side air bag and belt tensioner wiring. as a result sufficient contact between the crimp connectors and the corresponding plug may not occur which could lead to an increase in the electrical resistance of that connection.
Consequence:
If that happened, it would be possible for the side air bag and/or the safety belt tensioner not to deploy and will not be able to properly protect an occupant, increasing the risk of injuries.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began on september 16, 2009. owners may contact bmw customer relations and services toll-free at 1-800-525-7417.

Component:
Engine and engine cooling:cooling system:fan
Affected:

Defect:
This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by valeo. valeo is recalling certain engine cooling fans, part numbers 696121, 696273, and 696275, used as service replacement parts for model year 2008-2011 bmw 1-series, 2006-2011 bmw 3-series, 2000-2009 bmw 5-series, 2004-2005 bmw 6-series, and 2006-2007 bmw 7-series vehicles. a metal-oxide semiconductor may overheat due to insufficient screwing of the semiconductor on the aluminum heat sink. this primary failure could cause adjacent components on the fan assembly motor circuit board to overheat and short.
Consequence:
This condition could cause the fan motor to become inoperative, or cause the motor circuit board in the assembly to overheat, potentially leading to a fire in the engine compartment.
Correction:
Valeo will notify owners and replace the fans free of charge. the safety recall began on august 22, 2012. this recall is being conducted by valeo, not by bmw. for further information, owners may contact valeo at 1-888-718-2536.
