Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 BMW X5 sav. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V071000 (air bags) and the dealer indicated that the parts might not become available for approximately six months to a year. The dealer indicated that the manufacturer was only supplying 100 parts per month. The manufacturer was contacted and was unable to provide a reasonable time frame to repair the vehicle so the contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

X5 8-cyl

I have the same complaint that another owner made under NHTSA id number 10621394, pertaining to NHTSA campaign number 13V564000. In my case a repair shop has indicated that my vehicle's front passenger seat occupant detection mat is defective and probably should be covered by the recall. Unfortunately the recall only lists the 2006 BMW X5 as having the defective part. I believe the recall should be extended to include the 2007 BMW X5.

X5

I was exiting a parking garage and hit a column, the airbag went off. I was transported to the hospital. I sustained a C1 neck fracture and an abrasion on my forehead. I was in a neck collar for 3 months with very limited activity and no driving. My car was declared a total loss. I am presently going to physical therapy 2-3 times per week for my neck.

X5 6-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
In regard to NHTSA 13V-564, my 2007 BMW X5 has the same front passenger sensor/control module issue. A warning light comes on every time I start the car that says seat belt malfunction or seatbelt tension sensor malfunction. This must be a defect, as I have less that 40,000 miles and hardly ever have a passenger. The recall was issued in December 2013 and references up to 2006 BMW X5S as having the defective part. Can you please extend this recall to include 2007 BMW X5S? if you would like or need additional information, please let me know. Thank you.
