2014 BMW X3

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
This error does not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, fluid from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system could leak on the intake air hose. As a result, the fluid could enter the electrical connector for the water pump and cause a short circuit.  
 
Safety Risk: 
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises you to park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the water pump and electrical connector. The dealer will also install a shield on the connector.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash. If this happens, the airbag may not properly inflate and fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants. 

Safety Risk: 
An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury or death. 

Corrective Actions: 
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-front airbag module.

Issue:  
This recall applies to vehicles that may be equipped with a replacement sport or M-sport steering wheel that has a Takata airbag. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.  

Safety Risk:  
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.  
 
Corrective Actions:  
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver-front airbag module.
