Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies three Air Bag recalls and one Fuel System recall for the 2014 BMW i3. The Air Bag issues may involve increased neck-injury risk for an unbelted small adult driver in a frontal crash, passenger air bag deployment problems, or an improperly assembled inflator that could prevent proper deployment. On certain i3 REx vehicles, a rubbing fuel vent line may leak vapor and increase fire risk near an ignition source. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check shows whether one of these conditions applies to your vehicle and identifies the manufacturer remedy.
