BMW 3 Series Convertible Recall |
Door pressure sensors may delay side airbag deployment following an impact. |
 BMW announced a problem with the 3 Series Convertible affecting a total of 7,703 vehicles.
It has been identified that, the connections for the left and right hand door pressure sensors have been reversed at their connection with the airbag control unit. This would have the effect of delaying the detection of a side impact thus causing the airbag to be deployed too late. It should be noted that, the fault would not be indicted by the illumination of the airbag system warning lamp. Vehicles built from 11/20/2006 to 1/11/2008 are at risk.
Recalled vehicles will have the pin assignment of the airbag control unit corrected.
