NHTSA Complaint #11055755 — 2015 BMW X1 SAV

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM THE BMW DEALERSHIP STATING THE RECALL OF THE DRIVER'S AIR-BAG, THAT THEY HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. WHEN I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. I CALLED ON10/16/17, WAS INFORMED AS SOON AS THE PART WAS IN THEY WOULD CALL ME. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, 12/20/17 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS STILL ABOUT 13 WEEKS OUT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ONLY SENDING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 20 AIRBAGS AT A TIME AND THAT THE IS THE REASON THAT IT IS TAKING SO LONG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT WILL TAKE OVER 23 WEEKS FOR ME TO RECEIVE THE PART/AIRBAG THAT I NEED TO HAVE REPLACED. MY RECALL LETTER STATED THAT IF THE BMW CENTER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME THAT I SHOULD NOTIFY THE ADMINISTRATOR, NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE LETTER FOR THE RECALL IS DATED SEPTEMBER 2017.
