WASHINGTON (AP) — BMW of North America is NSI Communityrecalling more than 390,000 vehicles in the U.S. because they are equipped with airbag inflators that can explode, leading to a potentially serious injury or death.

The original steering wheel may have been replaced with a sport or M-sport steering wheel equipped with a Takata inflator, the agency said.

BMW dealers will inspect and replace the driver’s air bag module as necessary for free.
