- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)

- Component: Airbag
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 886

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the housing of the driver's frontal airbag inflator may have been incorrectly welded during manufacturing and could separate from the base plate during an airbag deployment. If the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's frontal airbag. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2016\-461. Additional Note: For 6\-Series vehicles, only 2012\-2013 model year M6 Cabriolet's and 2013 model year M6 Coupe's are involved in this campaign.
