BMW is venturing to recall 1.36 million cars in China over airbag risks, the regulator says.

HONG KONG (Reuters) – German carmaker BMW ( ETR: ) and its joint venture will recall a total of 1.36 million locally produced and imported cars in China due to potential risks related to the Takata airbag, it said on Friday China’s market regulator.

The recalls, effective immediately, are for models produced between 2003 and 2017, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement.

BMW Brilliance Automotive, a joint venture based in northeast China, will recall 598,496 Chinese-made cars, while BMW China Automobile Trading will recall 759,448 imported cars, the regulator said.

For vehicles confirmed to be defective after inspection, BMW will replace the driver’s front airbag free of charge to eliminate safety hazards, the statement said.

BMW China did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
