Takata Air Bag Recall Info: 2003-2004 X5s
 
If anyone wondered if their BMW was part of this huge air bag recall...you can see in the updated info below that some e53 X5s built between 2003-2004 are affected.

Also take note that the VIN info is not yet available on the NHTSA website...so those that may be affected may want to keep checking back for more updates:

Well I guess I better stay tuned, 2003 3.0 here, the NHTSA website sends me to a BMW link and I put my 7 of my VIN in and nothing open however?

Yeah...it appears that this recall is so vast that not all the players are ready to handle what's coming down the pike. Not only does Takat have to replace all the airbags from years ago...they still need to supply all the new cars/trucks being built.

This is just a nightmare for all....Takata, the car manufacturers, and the affected owners...the latter with the worst of it all if the bag deploys and they have one of the defective bags. YIKES!

I guess in the meantime I'll wear my full faced Icon motorcycle helmet while driving LOL

You better get some neck and chest armor as well.

Given the models affected, I am going to guess it is the non sport 4 spoke steering wheel. Can anyone with a non sport wheel run their vin and see of anything comes up? Mine (sport wheel) comes up with squat. I'm just curious and I'll keep checking.

Nothing for me. I have a 2003 e53 3.0L non sport. I signed up to be alerted and will post if things change.

i need this recall, I put a dent into my bmw rondell on the airbag with my thumb by accident

My xi is part of this. The recall notice I received is only for the passenger side airbag.

I don't understand why 02 isn't on this list for e53, but is for e46? I assumed they used the same bags.
