Takata recall. A fix for recall campaign 16V-071 issued in March 2016 by BMW against this VIN has yet to materialize. BMW clearly doesn't take seriously their obligation to repair this potentially fatal flaw.

- Houston, TX, USA
Takata recall. Mfgr campaign #: si B65 15 16. BMW 2011 335I coupe. I've contacted my local BMW service center and they claim they have no parts available. I received the first recall notice last March 2016, and when attempting to set up an appointment, they said they do not have parts. It's now over a year and BMW is claiming the same thing. My car is out of warranty so it's not a "money maker" for them anymore. I'm tired of being lied to. How can the airbag be fixed?

I received a letter from BMW on March 2016 about the airbag module recall, they didn't have the parts at that time, it's being one year and still BMW hasn't fixed my car, now the front passenger airbag is defective too, so me and my family are always in high risk because BMW does not want to fix this problem, thank you for the attention to this matter

- Libertyville, IL, USA
Takata recall: I am still waiting for my recall to be fixed. I've read that they are fixing older models and those in high humidity first, but find it interesting that I received a notice to fix the recall on the 2013 leased BMW before my 2011 owned BMW. I live in fl and though I got the notice for the lease, I had already turned the lease back in and was no longer in possession of it. Now over a year later since the the beginning of the recall and still no replacement piece for my recall on an older model in high humidity. I turned in the lease in July of 2016 and got the notice about a week after turning it in and now 7 months after that and still no news on when my recall will be dealt with. Some information would be nice to owners still waiting for recalls.

Takata recall. This recall is been issued for a very long time but BMW still hasn't notified me for the replacement and repair. This needs to be addressed promptly.
- Kings Park, NY, USA
I purchased my car with the confidence that I was purchasing a superior product to my disappointment when I went to sale this vehicle I was given less for the sale of my car due to this recall I could not get the airbag replaced so I was given less for my car due to this recall my damages are $3000 I would like this difference refunded back to me. This is not my fault this is solely the fault of the inferior product I have not contacted an attorney as of yet but if I am not made whole then I will have no other choice but to contact an attorney due to my loss.
