1. What is the BMW airbag recall lawsuit about?

The BMW airbag recall lawsuit involves claims that certain BMW vehicles were equipped with defective Takata airbags that can explode during deployment, sending metal fragments into the vehicle's cabin. These malfunctions have caused severe injuries and fatalities, and the lawsuit seeks compensation for affected individuals.

2. Which BMWs are being recalled for airbags?

The current recall affects 2000-2006 BMW 3 Series, 2000-2003 BMW 5 Series, and 2000-2004 BMW X5 vehicles. Previous recalls included additional models such as the 1 Series, X1, X3, X6, and X6 Hybrid from various model years.

4. What should I do if my BMW is part of the recall?

NHTSA urges affected BMW owners to stop driving immediately and contact their local dealership. Repairs, mobile repair services, and towing are available for free.

5. What are the potential risks associated with defective Takata airbags?

Defective Takata airbags can deploy explosively, causing metal fragments to spray into the vehicle's cabin. This malfunction can lead to severe injuries, including lacerations, eye damage, internal organ damage, and even death.

6. What compensation can victims receive?

Victims may receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and wrongful death claims related to defective BMW airbags. Settlement amounts vary based on injury severity and individual circumstances.

7. How long does a lawsuit take?

Legal timelines vary, but BMW airbag lawsuits typically take several months to years, depending on case complexity, evidence strength, and whether the case settles or goes to trial.

8. Is there a cost to file a BMW Airbag lawsuit?

Most attorneys handling BMW airbag lawsuits work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs to file a claim. Attorneys receive a percentage of the settlement or verdict only if your case is successful.

9. Can I still file a lawsuit if my accident happened years ago?

Possibly, depending on your state's statute of limitations and when the defect was discovered. An experienced attorney can evaluate your specific situation and determine eligibility.

10. What makes Takata airbags dangerous?

Takata airbags use ammonium nitrate as a propellant, which can degrade over time, especially in hot, humid conditions. This degradation can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, resulting in metal fragments being projected through the airbag.

The mounting bolts securing the driver-side frontal airbag may have been insufficiently tightened on affected vehicles, potentially causing the airbag to detach from the steering wheel, NHTSA said. A detached driver’s airbag increases the risk of injury during a crash.
