BMW X1 | Peugeot 508 | Various Mercedes-Benz Recalled In Australia

BMW has recalled its X1 SUV in Australia, due to a potential problem with the vehicle’s dashboard.

The German carmaker says that parts of the dash deliberately weakened during production may have been missed.

The softened dash parts are to ensure the airbag deploys as intended during a collision, and the oversight may mean passenger airbags do not offer their maximum protection against injury.

Affected models were sold in Australia between June of last year and April of this year, with 2318 examples on the recall list.

BMW will attempt to contact affected owners shortly, but any owner wishing to learn about the latest round of recalls should contact their local dealer or phone BMW Australia on 1800 813 299.
