"takata recall - i received a recall letter from the bmw dealership stating the recall of the driver's air-bag, that they have the necessary parts to complete the recall. when i called to schedule the service i was informed that they had to order the part. i called on10/16/17, was informed as soon as the part was in they would call me. i called again today, 12/20/17 and was told that the part was still about 13 weeks out. the manufacturer was only sending the dealership about 20 airbags at a time and that the is the reason that it is taking so long. my complaint is that it will take over 23 weeks for me to receive the part/airbag that i need to have replaced. my recall letter stated that if the bmw center is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time that i should notify the administrator, national highway traffic safety administration. the letter for the recall is dated september 2017."

"takata recall - have asked about the replacement of the driver airbag as a recall item for almost one year with no resolution. dealership states they get 20 replacement bags per month and i am on a waiting list. very dangerous!"

"airbag recall from early 2016 and still don't have a replacement. we are on the waiting list per the dealership but our replacement is still months out."

"after receiving the first airbag recall notice from bmw of no. america, i"ve been contacting bmw of honolulu for almost 2 yrs to try to get them to replace the defective airbag. they tell me that they don't have the parts or the last time i called they told be they would call me back and i've never heard back from them (several mos ago). i talked w/ the sales person i bought the car from and she told me she would call me back w/ status and have never heard back from her. it's very frustrating to keep receiving these airbag recall notice from bmw and when i call to see when they can repair my car, i never hear back from them."

"takata recall - called upon receipt of the letter from bmw/ntsb stating the repair is now available, made an appointment for 3 weeks out as the parts take that long to get in. now i've received a call after 2 weeks with an appointment that ralph schomp bmw was told by bmw usa that they are limited to the number of airbags they are allowed to replace each week so they need to cancel my appointment indefinitely. i was also told that the parts are now on back order, so there is no way to get the airbag repaired in a timely manner. i spoke with bmw usa & they advised that yes, they are limiting how many recalls can be repaired each week, but that the parts are not on back order. she advised i try a larger dealer in my area or complain to the service manager as they can magically get things repaired. i am working with the largest dealer in the region - so, since now i am having problems getting repairs made i'm contacting you to help me. i want to get rid of the car as the service is horrible and my safety is at risk!!!"

"2015 bmw x1. consumer writes in regards to drivers airbag module safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the part to repair the vehicle was unavailable. updated 10/23/2017*js"

"takata recall recall campaign 16v-071. received letter stating "we are pleased to inform you that we have the necessary parts to complete this recall. please contact your authorized bmw center immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free repair performed as soon as possible." dealer said it was not possible now or in the foreseeable future. bmw customer service said they did not know and suggested it might be for another vehicle. the letter is for the correct model. the letter sent seems patently false."

"takata recall; i've been trying for about 2 yrs to have the defective airbag in my car replaced by my local bmw dealer and still haven't been able to do so. when i first called them about the airbag they told me they didin't have the replacement airbag and that they would let me know when they have it. in sept of this year, i got a notice in the mail from bmw of north america, telling me they had the replacement parts in stock and to call my local bmw dealer immediately to schedule the repair. i called bmw of honolulu on 9/21 to make an appointment and the lady i talked to told me she was in charge of the airbag recall. i asked for an appoint asap and she told me that the computer system was down and that she would call me back the same day. today is sat, 10/14 and no one has called me back to tell me what's going on or when or if they can do the repair. all bmw does is send these dire letters to make me worry but, they don't do anything or let me know what's happening."
