BMW warns against driving 90,000 older models with Takata airbags.

BMW has issued a "do not drive" warning to approximately 90,000 owners of certain models made between 2000 and 2006, telling them to park their vehicles if they have not had their Takata airbags replaced. The airbags have a 50% failure rate due to a lack of a desiccant or chemical drying agent, which can cause the airbag to fail to properly inflate during a crash and may even throw metal shrapnel around the vehicle interior. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration urges owners to get their vehicles repaired immediately, as the airbags become more dangerous over time.
