Takata recall I received a air bag recall notice from BMW in June 2015 and another recall notice in September 2016. Over a year + I have been calling south bay BMW in torrance CA. And they keep on telling me they do not have the parts yet. Can you please help me. .
Takata recall. This complaint is due to the slow response of nalley BMW in decatur georgia to replace my airbag. I received my recall letter and immediately called the BMW dealer on sept 7th. I was told that parts were ordered and I would be called when they arrived. By sept 16th I had heard nothing and called again. Nalley said they had no record of my having ordered parts. I was transferred to the parts department where no one answered the phone. So I called BMW national customer relations. They said they would contact the dealer and have them get in touch with me directly. Nothing happened, so today visited the dealer personally to get the parts ordered. I was told it would take an additional two weeks to receive parts. This is unacceptible. My recall letter from BMW clearly states "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 recall performed as soon as possible," and ". . . Metal fragments striking the driver or other passengers potentially resulting in serious injury or death. " BMW has built cars with shrapnel grenades instead of airbags and now they don't care about fixing it. BMW should not e allowed to sell another vehicle in the us until they have completed all of these critical recalls.
Takata recall. The airbag replacement has not been performed as of 04-25-16.

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!.

I received a recall notice months ago and BMW has yet to be able to replace airbag!! I drive across country twice a year and have already made the trip once since the recall notice. What can be done to get BMW to take action?? I can't believe they still have "no parts and a long backlog of people waiting" after all this time.
