Air Bag problem #1

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2003 BMW M5. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v318000 (air bags) however, the parts to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Air Bag problem #2

Takata recall. BMW has yet to issue a fix for this recall. It has been almost a year since the initial notice went out. My local dealer and BMW USA has no information as to when a fix will be available. I consider this to be unacceptable.

Air Bag problem #3

I have been waiting since July 2015 for BMW to have the parts to fix the potentially fatal air bag flaw in my car. I am still waiting. This is recall campaign 15v-318: driver side front air bag module.
