BMW Recalls 200,000 Cars Due To Airbag Flaw

BMW announced a recall of over 200,000 vehicles due to the possibility of the front passenger airbags not deploying properly.

The German automaker said the effected models include:

3 Series Model Year 2006
5 Series Model Years 2004-2006
X3 SUV Series Model Years 2004-2006

These BMW cars and SUVs were all built in the United States. The flaw seems to be tied to an inability to detect if there is a passenger in the front seat of the car.

BMW has offered to extend the warranty on effected cars.
