Air Bag Inflator Issue

Sportstick · 05-15-2023, 04:44 PM

There is some controversy between NHTSA and ARC, who makes some air bag inflators (not the Takata separate issue)as of last week. BMW is mentioned, but no one seems to know in which models BMW used ARC air bag inflators, neither BMWNA nor my dealer. Has anyone disassembled an air bag steering wheel hub or the instrument panel for the passenger side and noticed a label on the air bag inflator with the supplier name?

Looking at available parts online, most of the BMW F-Series cars seems to use TRW or Autoliv airbag inflators.
