TAKATA RECALL. CALLED BMW AND THEY SAID THE PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET TO FIX THE RECALL. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

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.

IT IS NOW OCTOBER (7 MONTHS LATER) AND THE AIRBAG HAS STILL NOT BEEN REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

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. HTTP://WWW.BMWMAINLINE.COM/

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE NOT YET BEEN CONTACTED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE REPLACED. MY PARTNER WHO IS AN OCCASIONAL DRIVER AND FREQUENT PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE IS NEWLY PREGNANT. MY CAR IS QUITE OLD. WE LIVE IN HAWAII, A STATE WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF HUMIDITY. A POTENTIAL INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MY PARTNER, OR OUR UNBORN CHILD.

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??
