Recall Data Provided by NHTSA

#
1		Make(s):
BMW		Model(s):
1 SERIES, 3 SERIES		Year(s):
2008
Manufacturer:
BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC		NHTSA ID:
09V257000		Recall Date:
July 8th, 2009		Units Affected:
2,350

Affected Component: Air bags:frontal | seat belts:front.

Summary: 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. .
