Car-Part Can Help You Get Paid for Recalled BMW Airbags!

BMW of North America, LLC has agreed to pay automotive recyclers for recalled airbags in their current or past vehicle inventories. In order to be eligible for such payment, you need to certify that an eligible recalled airbag has not been sold, and that it has been (or will be) deployed or destroyed. You may be eligible for a payment of $40.25 for recalled airbags in your current inventory (or $28.75 for recalled airbags that you had in the past but have already been destroyed). You don't need to ship the airbags anywhere to be paid!

Car-Part can assist you in identifying recalled airbags that may be eligible for these payments from BMW, and in preparing and submitting the certifications that are necessary to claim the payments.

If you are a Car-Part customer and you currently upload inventory to Car-Part.com, we will email you again soon if you have vehicles (now or previously) that qualify for this recall program. The coming email will have instructions for verifying and certifying your information so you can receive payment. So keep an eye out for an email that comes from:

BMWRecall@car-part.com via SurveyMonkey member@surveymonkey.com

The email will have a subject that begins with: BMW Airbag Recall

Note: This email may be filtered as spam. We will call you as soon as we send the email to make sure you received it, but in the meantime, keep an eye on your junk/spam folder.

The process will typically take less than a minute per vehicle, plus some additional time to e-sign and verify your information. Payment will be issued after your certification has been processed. Remember, you don't have to ship the airbags anywhere. You're only certifying that they were not and will not be sold, and that you will destroy them if they have not been destroyed or deployed already.

You must complete this process by the end of November 2025 in order to be paid.

The entire verification process (including Car-Part's processing time) must be completed by December 6, 2025.

Note: If you do not currently upload inventory to Car-Part.com, you can still submit claims to BMW and may be eligible to get payments for recalled airbags! To do so, you would need to send us a list of your BMW VINs and we will check them for recalled airbags. To start this process, call 859-344-1962.
