It was due to a defect in the inflators, and some people were killed when airbag inflator shrapnel struck them. There is video of defective inflators tearing through the tough airbag fabric. My understanding is BMW only used Takata airbags on cars that were repaired after an accident and needed new airbags. Is this not the case, did they use Takata airbags on new vehicles?
