MUNICH, Germany, July 16 (UPI) -- BMW said it was recalling 1.6 million 3 series vehicles from 2000 to 2006 because of a faulty airbag that in rare cases could break apart on deployment.
The company said that the airbags on the passenger side could break apart resulting in injuries to passengers, but added that this had happened only in "rare cases." The car maker has informed the NHTSA about the recall, which includes 574,000 vehicles in the U.S.
