Received 2 recall notices from BMW usa 11/17 and 12/17 for issues with the front passenger seat occupant detection mat and the engine PCV valve heater. Contacted my local dealership to have them fixed. Was advised that they did not have authorization from the national office to perform the repairs. When questioned about having the parts the service representative admitted that they could get the parts but would not be reimbursed for the repair because the national office had not authorized their use. Repeatedly check with them over the next several months. Received the same answer again and again. Contacted BMW usa directly through their customer service and spoke with their representative who stated that they did not have the parts to repair the known safety issues and were hoping to have them fixed later this year. When I informed them that the local dealership said they could get the parts they finally admitted that yes they had them but not enough to cover all the recalled vehicles so they were not authorizing repairs yet.

The passenger seat occupancy sensor is defective. This is part of the "seat mat", which is under recall. BMW sent an initial notice of recall in September of 2017. As of April 20, 2018 the parts are still not available to perform this recall. Over 7 months! no one at the dealer or BMW usa can give us a straight answer as to when the parts will become available. The Q and a part of the notice indicates no one should sit in the passenger seat until this is fixed! why is BMW being allowed to continue to delay fixing this safety defect? I would like to know what the NHTSA is doing to make BMW repair this in a timely manner!
