If this happens it is possible that the contact ring wiring could break.  This would cause the readiness indicator lamp (\"SRS\" or \"AIRBAG\") to illuminate and in such a case the airbag would not be available for deployment in a frontal impact.  Correction: Locking tab will be replaced with one of a different design.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"RC96-016","part_number":null,"units":2617,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Coussin gonflable","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines BMW 318I, 318IS, 325I, 325IS, 525I, 525IT, 535I, 735I, 735IL, 750IL, 850I et M5, la languette de blocage de la bague de contact du coussin de sécurité du volant peut se briser sans avertissement.
