Takata recall - received safety recall notice via mail 07-03-2017 that necessary parts to complete this recall were available but BMW dealership in birmingham, al stated parts were not available when I called to make a service appointment. The BMW rep told me to call back in a few weeks - parts might be available. I'm confused as to why I would receive this notice if parts were not available.

The air bag has been recalled for over a year and I am still waiting for my appointment to fix the matter. When the recall first happened I was very pregnant and I called BMW telling them I was concerned. They said that it would be fixed by 9/16 and I am still waiting and my baby will turn 1 on July 1,2017. When will my air bags be fixed? this is a serious and dangerous matter.

I received a recall notice from BMW (recall campaign no. 16V-071) a year ago. The recall notice informs me that the airbag can rupture in an accident and send metal fragments to the driver (myself) and other passengers. This is a concerning safety issue that still has not been addresses and resolved by BMW. The recall notice advises me that there are no parts available to resolve this recall and that BMW will advise me when there are. Since it has been a year since this notice, this is now reaching an unreasonable amount of time that a consumer should have to wait for resolution on a safety issue such as this. I would like BMW to provide me with a loaner BMW vehicle or like model until they correct and resolve this issue.

Takata recall. I received a recall notice stating that in the event of a crash a defect in the airbag could cause rupturing of the inflator resulting in serious injury or death. It is now more than 9 months since receipt of this notice. I have contacted BMW 3 times since receipt of the notice and they state there is still no indication of when they might be able to replace the defective airbag. I'm hoping you can assist with forcing BMW to get this safety replacement completed.

Recall on February 5, 2016, BMW has failed to replace the airbag in almost nine months! what good is a possible death recall if the manufacturer does not replace the airbag?
Takata recall. Local BMW dealer said they did not have parts. Said they would put me on a wait list. It has been months. No contact. I am unable to drive my car because of the risk. www.bmwmainline.com/
Spoke to BMW today they are now talking about the parts not coming in until 2017. They have no idea what month so I could still be over a year away from resolving this. I cant even sell the car or trade it in because they cant resale it without correcting the recall. Acura was paying for a loaner car until the recall was corrected I guess BMW feels its owners are more expendable??
Takata recall: My local dealer still says they do not have the parts to service my car. I was notified last winter that my car was unsafe, and I still do not have the airbag fixed. I checked the recall site and it says interim parts are available but the dealer will not install them! when will this be complete. Am I driving a time bomb?
