Two active recalls (no. 17v‑683, no. 17v‑676) with letters from dec.2017 and jan.2018 unresolved to date. Manufacturer taking too long to remedy safety recalls. No repair date available.
I received initial notice of important safety recall from bmw november 2017, #1 no. 17v‑676 blower motor wiring, and #2 no. 17v‑683 pcv valve heater. The notice said "remedy unavailable" in both cases. It is now april 2018 and when I go onto the federal safety agency site I still get that the remedy is not available. I feel this is a case of the bmw center being "unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time," and am therefore informing you of this issue.

Bmw recall. My car was in the parking lot of my employment. I went out to my car - the entire inside of the car was filled with smoke and soot. The passenger side dashboard, under the glove box and the glove box had melted onto the floor board. Also burning the carpet and passenger door panel. I called bmw of american on wed. 3/21/18 and filed a form regarding the recall and what to do. They stated someone would contact me between 24 and 48 hours - it is 3/23/18 and no one has contacted me. I called the 800‑831‑1117 bmw customer service number and was on holding waiting for someone to pick up the phone for 63 minutes. I do not know what to do but I need your help please. - (recall related incident) ts

Received recall notifications (pcv valve and wiring for heating and air-conditioning) at the end of 2017. Have checked and rechecked with dealership to get the repairs. Finally called bmw USA and was told no parts available until late spring or early summer??!! Meanwhile, article in the la times said that repairs would begin in december, 2017 and quoted a bmw official as advising "park your car outside" (in case the thing just ignites by itself while parked?). --and for those of us who cannot do that? Why do they say that customer safety is their #1 priority?! It is outrageous.

The vehicles rdc module that communicates to the TPMS gets wet and causes a complete electrical system failure. This module on is located under the passenger rear wheel splash shield on the outside of the vehicle and is exposed to elements. This is a poor design and location. Failure happened during vehicle operation and even when off and it causes complete loss of all safety function. It seems to be a common issue when researching online.
