BMW is recalling every 2008 1-Series and 3-Series car to perfect a defect that could cause an airbag failure.
In a defect cognizance filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Charge, BMW explains, "The problem involves the wiring for the front side airbags and front safe keeping belt tensioners. Specifically, incorrect crimp connectors may have been acclimated to on the side airbag and belt tensioner wiring. As a result, sufficient connection between the crimp connectors and the corresponding plug may not occur which could broach to an increase in the electrical resistance of that connector. If that happened, it could be conceivable for the side air bag and/or the safety belt tensioner not to deploy" in an accident, increasing the risk of injuries.
Cars that meet with the defect should display an airbag warning sign in the thingy cluster, but owners are advised to heed the recall note even if they don't see the airbag warning.
