Takata recall of front drivers side air bags. I received notice of recall over a year ago. I am still being told by BMW that the part needed to repair the vehicle is unavailable.. it is unacceptable and wrong to wait well over a year to have a recall repair! and I'm still waiting. I just spoke to the BMW dealership and was told again that there are no parts for the repair. I'd like to get this taken care of so please do something about it.
