TAKATA RECALL I HAVE TWO VEHICLES IN RECALL. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE DISCOVERED. BMW HAS DONE NOTHING. CALLS TO DEALER SAY "NO PARTS"' SO MY WIFE AND I MUST DRIVE THESE VEHICLES THAT MAY BE DANGEROUS WITH NO IDEA WHEN THE CONDITION WILL BE CORRECTED. OTHER COMPANIES MADE QUICK UPDATES. WHY NOT BMW?
