1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2008 BMW 3 Series

Failure Date: 11/09/2017

Takata recall 1. BMW sent me recall notice in March 2016, with no follow up repair implementation as of Nov. 2017 = 1. 5yrs since the initial recall notice = unreasonably long? 2. When I go to safercar. Gov / airbag recall. Com & check my VIN, my car does not show up w/ airbag inflator recall (it shows up for blower motor wiring recall, but that's it). Maybe I'm missing something?.

Takata inflators your web site said on 2. 5. 2016 that my BMW 321 2007 was recalled by an airbag replacement. The dealer told me three month later that they had received no replacement airbags. Since then I've heard nothing from the dealer. Some months ago I called the NHTSA & your rep said they had no current information. My question: are you following up the recall and requiring BMW to replace the airbags in the 2007 Bmws. Heath pemberton pembertonhl@verizon. Net.

5 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2003 BMW 3 Series

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

Takata inflators. Manufacturer has not pursued the existing recall in even a remotely timely manner. I was notified by letter dated July 2015 of the recall. That was over 14 months ago! I called my local BMW service center who informed me the required parts were still not available. The representative here at safecar. Gov notified me that parts are available. When I contacted manufacturer "national recall call center" (800-831-1117), as recommended by rep here at safecar, they said they weren't for my VIN. When I informed them I had inquired here with this agency and was told the parts were available, the national center said they'd call me back in 48 hours. They never did. Does anyone take these safety recalls seriously? the manufacturer certainly isn't.

6 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2003 BMW 3 Series

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

In September 2014 I received a notice recall campaign no. 14v-428 front passenger air bag. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger's air bag, excessive internal pressure could cause rupture of the air bag inflator, resulting in metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the front passenger or other passenger. BMW has done nothing to replace this air bag. They continue to say that they have not received the parts. This is unacceptable in that 4 months have passed with nothing resolved. I, along with other BMW drivers, are at risk and we need you to take action for all of us.
