Takata recall hello, I'm at my BMW service center now (BMW of fairfax) to have service done on my car. I received notification of the takata air bag recall and notified the service center as to when I can get my air bags fixed. They could not give me a definitive time line. I went to the service center today to have regular service done on my car and again they could not give me an exact time line. They said, "maybe a year but we're not sure." I also asked if BMW is still offering their car rental program until the issue is resolved but the service center said BMW is no longer offering this. I'm concerned that the service center does not want to perform the work as I'm sure this is at a major cost to them.

Takata recall - I received a notice in July 2015 stating that an accident could result in serious injury or death. I have been repeatedly told by the manufacturer that they will let me know when replacement parts are available. How long do I have to drive an unsafe car before it is repaired?

I was notified of recall campaign no: 15V-318 in July 2015. Driver side air bag needs to be replaced due to possible serious injury or death if inflated on impact. I have called the local dealership. Inskip BMW on numerous occasions and they say that they have not received the replacement part. If it is this dangerous, why is it taking so long?

Takata recall. My complaint concerns the delay in parts availability to fix driver's side airbag. This is taking way to long and am worried as to possibility of injury, or worse, if involve in an accident. In my opinion "lack of parts" is taking way too long.nothing has happened yet.
