Takata recall. The recall was issued in February 2016. It is now almost August 2017. 18 months for a safety recall is beyond reasonable to drive an unsafe vehicle.

Takata recall I received a recall notice about the airbags in my BMW. I have repeatedly contacted my BMW fremont dealer as well as BMW America about replacing them. They keep telling me they do not have replacements. In 2016 they said they should be in last September. I asked again today & still no airbags.

BMW drivers air bag module recall, campaign no. 16V-071. The driver's front air bag module recall for my 2010 BMW 335I X-drive coupe, dated 02-05-2016 was sent to me in March 2016. I called richmond, va BMW as soon as I received the recall notice. I was told the air bag module would be placed on order. I followed up with kay in the richmond BMW service office on 10-06-2016 and was told the air bag module was placed on order. I called richmond BMW service department again today, 01-30-2017, and was told 30 million bmws were recalled for air bag modules and that this caused the delay. I was also told that the air bag modules were scheduled to be received this spring 2017. This is unacceptable. I can not just park my car. A one year delay to replace my car's air bag module is unacceptable since the air bag module could cause my "serious injury or death."

"tamara recall" - after calling my dealer to ask when my car will be taken care of I still have not been informed about when that will happen. I received my recall letter early last year. It seems to me as though someone is dragging their feet. Maybe your Agency needs to light a fire under those involved in expediting this recall fulfillment.

Takata recall BMW promised to replace defective air bag in 2016 late summer. But now it is January, 2017. They still haven't provided parts to get it fixed in a timely manner. I contact BMW customer service. They are just giving bs. There are 17 similar customers like me waiting for parts. BMW should not allow to sell any new cars in nc until we get the parts. Because all new car comes with new air bag. If they can sell new car, they should have air bag. So why not put the safety of existing customer in the highest priority?
