Passenger seat occupancy sensor is having errors. Showing a passenger when none is present and also showing no passenger when there is one in the seat. This is a pretty major safety issue.

Takata recall I received a letter from BMW usa dated September 2017 telling me that parts were available to satisfy this recall and to make an appointment right away to have the airbag replaced. I made an appointment and it was cancelled because the dealership "didn't have the parts and didn't know when they would get them". BMW cannot tell me when they will have the part, despite sending me a letter stating that they "have the necessary parts to complete this recall".
