- Everett, WA, USA
In July 2015 I received a notice of recall campaign no. 15V-381: Driver side front air bag module. It said if deployed metal fragments could strike the driver or other passengers causing death or serious injury. It said I'd get a 2nd letter when the parts were available. I've never gotten the second letter, and when I called my dealer at the beginning of this month to schedule the repair they said that the parts were still not available! that's almost a year later. I'm afraid to drive the car but I have no choice!

Notified many months ago driver air bag could kill and it was being replaced under a recall. I call every month to no help by BMW. Months later, BMW says "tacata air bag company going bankrupt so good luck" ever getting the part. Why isn't BMW being forced to resolve this? so, if I or anyone driving a recalled car dies, BMW is well aware of the prior problem and is an accomplice for aiding and abetting in nothing being done for the many BMW customers.
