Takata recall hello, I'm at my bmw service center now (bmw of fairfax) to have service done on my car. I received notification of the takata air bag recall and notified the service center as to when I can get my air bags fixed. They could not give me a definitive time line. I went to the service center today to have regular service done on my car and again they could not give me an exact time line. They said, "maybe a year but we're not sure." I also asked if bmw is still offering their car rental program until the issue is resolved but the service center said bmw is no longer offering this. I'm concerned that the service center does not want to perform the work as I'm sure this is at a major cost to them.

Received recall on airbags in 2015 called dealership and they said they don't have them. Both of them need replaced this is not safe...how can you not have these.
I was notified of recall campaign no: 15v‑318 in july 2015. Driver side air bag needs to be replaced due to possible serious injury or death if inflated on impact. I have called the local dealership. Inskip bmw on numerous occasions and they say that they have not received the replacement part. If it is this dangerous, why is it taking so long?

Driving to work this morning, the passenger airbag above the door erupted. My vehicle was not hit by anything. I have no damage to the outside at all. I need to know how this airbag recall affects me, because it talks about in the event of a crash...and I wasn't in a wreck of any sort.
Message: hi, there was a safety recall on air bags. We own a 2002 bmw and our vehicle is also included in this recall. We contacted our local bmw dealer (niello bmw at sacramento, ca) several times but they said they don't have the parts to replace. How long do we have to wait ? Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Contacted in september of 2014 regarding recall for defective air bags. Dealer scheduled repair in september, but when we showed up for our appointment we were informed there were no air bags. We have called 4 times since then and told a shipment was coming in and we would be contacted. The last (#5) still no airbags, probably sometime in january.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 bmw 325ci. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact received the federal safety agency campaign number:14v428000 (air bags) and believed the failure was related to the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
Out of the blue the airbag light came on. I became concerned and did not want to drive it- I didn't know why or what to do about it. The light stays on constantly and never goes out. I had an auto mechanic look at it but he had not knowledge of what it might be. I continued to drive the care and the light remained on. I wasn't driving it everyday so I was not worried very much. But I had read about a recall of some bmw's were having problems with their airbags and I thought that could be it. I am going to get to the bottom of this problem as that seems to be the only problem I have been experiencing with my car, hope this works out and it can be repaired as it is a safety issue and how would I know if the airbag will deploy if I should need it for protecting me and my family.
