I received a safety recall notice with the heading "final remedy available" and was instructed to contact my BMW service center to schedule a repair. When I did, I was advised that the remedy is unavailable and will not be available until a later date, maybe the summer of 2017. The notice suggests that I inform the NHTSA if BMW is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time. Given that it is unclear when the remedy will be available, I am notifying the NHTSA of my experience. Thank you.

Takata inflators: I have been waiting almost a year for BMW to replace this airbag. I cannot sell the vehicle to a dealer until this is replaced. I expect my airbag to be replaced now. I want BMW to complete this asap...all I get from them is "parts are not available at this time"....

Had several recalls sent but everytime I contact and took my car. BMW stated that parts are not in. Been 2 years, so I was still paying and then told until get get fixed. No payments will be made on a car they knew was a safety hazard and did not for 2 years. Took car again in 2/2017. Same answer. Now they want to take care and charge me due to their lack to service my BMW, which is a safety hazard to drive
Takata recall - recall notice received over one year ago. No action has been taken by BMW to date. I have serious safety concerns about continuing to drive this vehicle and effectively cannot trade it in on another vehicle since its value is significantly diminished until the recall is completed.

I have been to the dealership several times since this recall and the problem is still not fixed. It's been over a year I've been on a waiting list and we are trying to sale the car and can't because of the recall! this is ridiculous. We need the parts ordered and dealt with it's been over a year.
Takata recall got recall notice March 2016 have checked with BMW dealer 3 times and am told I am on the list. I live in atlanta, ga but have a condo at panama city beach, fl and drive back and forth regularly. I don't understand why it is taking so long when this is such a major safety issue. I understand there is a priority list and I would like to be on it given the age of my vehicle and where I live.

Received letter for recall of driver's side airbag inflator could rupture sending metal fragments causing serious injury or death. Letter dated March 2016. I called twice and parts on back order. Why so long and why should I continue to make monthly payments on a potentially deadly vehicle ??
Safety recall notice was sent first class March 2016. My daughter has called two times and is being told the part is not in and maybe October or November. Since then, she was rear ended as she was in motion on a city street on Sunday, 9/25/16 and suffered severe neck, shoulder, arm and hip injuries. Her air bag did not deploy which may have protected her from some or all injuries. Why is she not being updated and why is it taking so long for this driver's airbag to be received and replaced? information provided below is an estimate and only contains to our car. Going approximately 18 mph and miles approximately 42000 miles, but cannot verify at this time because aaa has it. The girl who hit my daughter drove a BMW as well and her air bag deployed.
