Campaign:
07E069000 on 09/05/2007
Component:
Equipment
Affected:
675
Defect:
Certain aftermarket bmw bike carriers, p/n 82110393954, sold for use on my 2005 bmw x3 and x5 vehicles. a pinch bolt exists between the bike arm bracket and the upright assembly of the hitch style bicycle rack.
Consequence:
When moving the bike arm bracket to its down position, this pinch point has the potential of causing a severe injury to the user's finger or hand.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners and provide a repair kit along with repair instructions free of charge. the recall began on september 13, 2007. owners can contact bmw customer relations and services toll-free at 800-831-1117.

Campaign:
08V384000 on 08/04/2008
Component:
Air bags:frontal
Affected:
200,000
Defect:
Bmw is recalling 200,000 my 2006 3 series sport seat, my 2004-2006 5 series standard and sport seat, and my 2004-2006 x3 passenger vehicles. depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit, small cracks have developed in the mat. if this occurs, the front passenger air bags, with the exception of the head protection system, will be deactivated and the air bag warning lamp as well as the passenger air bag "on-off" lamp will be illuminated.
Consequence:
In this situation the front passenger air bags will not deploy even if a sufficiently severe accident would occur and occupant protection provided by the system would not be possible.
Correction:
Dealers will rework the front passenger seat sensor mat so that external force application to the seat does not cause a crack to the mat. the recall began on november 6, 2008. bmw will also extend the warranty on these vehicles to 10 years from first registration without any mileage limit. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.
Notes:
Bmw is extending the warranty to 10 years from first registration without any mileage limit to the following vehicles:my 2006 6-series, 3-series (standard seat), my 2004-2005 z4, my 2004-2006 7-series, my 2006 x5, and my 2004-2006 5-series (comfort seat).under the extended warranty program, the occupant detection mat in a vehicle that experiences this specific issue will be replaced at no charge to the customer.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
