I am reaching out to you to see if you could help me. My husband and I have a BMW X3 2006 and got the letter for the recall on the airbag. I just not sure what I do now. It has been over a year and still have not got anymore information about the next step. I have called them and was told nothing much. Do I need to call the BMW dealer and mover from there or just wait ? I just not sure what to do. Thanks you for all your help and time.
Nhtsa website claims that my vehicle has had an unrepaired recall. The recall is for: front passenger seat occupant detection mat: this safety recall involves the front passenger seat occupant detection mat. Depending on seat configuration and vehicle geometry, the mat can fatigue during field usage depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit. Specifically, over time micro-cracks could develop in the side flanks of the mat. If a micro-crack leads to a break of a conductive path, the system will recognize a failure. Consequently, the front passenger air bags with the exception of the head protection system will be deactivated.

I received a recall notice in November 2017. I took my car to BMW myrtle beach for the repair in December 2017. They gave me a loaner while the work was being done. They later told me the repair could not be done because they had ordered the wrong parts and that the repair parts are not currently available. In April 2018 my wife was in a near fatal accident where she had to be airlifted to a hospital and was in icu for almost 1 week. The airbag in our Toyota sienna saved her life. In the spring, I connected with the local BMW dealership, who referred me to BMW north America where I logged a complaint. I also requested a loaner until my airbag system could be repaired. They denied my request and for a loaner. They referred me to their website to read their policy and said recommended that I call the local BMW dealership for help. I asked them for a written position statement but they would not provide it for me. Their recommendation was not to allow anyone to ride in the front seat. I purchased a 5-passenger vehicle and not allowing anyone to ride in the front seat is not an option for my family. I have no choice but to have a front-seat passenger. Nine months is too long for BMW not to have a remedy for such a serious safety issue. I cannot believe that they will not provide a loaner at no charge until thy have a remedy.

Takata recall.
My son was driving in bumper to bumper traffic (city street) barely going 5 miles per hour. He steps on the brakes and his airbags deploy. No collision was made between his car and the car in front him. All the airbags deployed except passenger side. I understand that this should happen at 10mph or greater and a collision. No collision going around 5mph. Hard to justify. My son was very shaken by this incident where is almost afraid to drive. Car was towed to dealership, I placed a call to BMW north America. They are sending a investigator out to inspect the vehicle. Since ther was no collision insurance isn't going to cover any repairs and BMW na isn't acting as if they will do anything. I have read several blogs and complaints about recalls on the BMW airbags from all makes and models. The car 135,000 miles and has been a great first car for my son. The car is in excellent condition and I'm hoping, praying they can or will fix it.
