Exclamation Voluntary E-U recall of USA made X3's

Does this voluntary E-U recall of USA made X3's also apply to those sold in the USA?

This is the E-U listing from Germany:

Product Category: Motor vehicles Product: Passenger Cars Brand Name: BMW Name: X3 Typ-/Modellnummer: Types: X3, Applies to cars that were manufactured between January 2011 and April 2013 Product Description: car Country of origin: USA

Risk of injury in an accident with airbag deployment, the passenger airbag may not deploy correctly. Also parts of the instrument panel can be thrown into the interior.

Voluntary action: Recall of the product by the end user

Not necessarily. It would depend on a number of variables. They won't forget about you though if they do: you will get notified by mail if there is a campaign that affects your car.

From what I found it says this applies to a very small window of the 2013 X3's:

Where did you get your information from?
