I received a recall notice dated September 2014 from BMW regarding a defect in the front passenger airbag. I called my local dealer in ft myers fl on 10/28/14 to set up an appointment to get the repair done. I was told the part was out of stock and asked to leave my name and phone number and I would receive a call when it became available. Since I did not hear from the dealer I decided to follow up and called them on January 8, 2015. I was told the part was out of stock. The woman said they only receive small quantities at a time. Again, I was asked to leave my name and phone number and would be called when the part was restocked. How can BMW send out a recall notice asking you to call immediately to have the necessary repair performed as soon as possible when they don't supply the dealer with the part? I expected more from BMW. I certainly hope they do something to rectify the problem and expedite the repair!

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.

Although I have received a recall notice for passenger airbag, the has not called with parts availability. Since this fault can cause fatal injuries in case of an airbag deployment, there should be no delays, or the dealer should offer to disable the bag if parts are delayed. Since I am told that cars in the southern U.S. will be repaired first due their use in humid conditions, mine will be delayed. In fact my car was sold and used in memphis tenn. Prior to my acquisition, notoriously hot and humid state. Airbag igniter decay likely occurred. I strongly suggest that the dealers offer to disable the potentially fatal bags if they cannot promptly repair them. Thank you
