Consumer Description

I have a recall notice for an EGR cooler in my 2015 BMW x5 diesel. At first there was no part available, for at least a year. Now a part has been available since September 2022. I sold the vehicle to my son in Roanoke, VA in September 2022. His dealer claims he can't get the part. This is a SAFETY issue. My original dealer in California had the part, but is telling my son he no longer has a part and in order to get a part from the warehouse, my son's Roanoke dealer HAS to be part of the Penske auto system. The Roanoke, VA dealer was sold around September 2022 and has been totally inept, can't get the part, made some other repair which was incorrect and now my son is driving a safety defective vehicle. This may not be the proper place to make a report, however the recall notice says to make a report, gives a website and says I can get information at the website, but not true. Additionally, the printed phone number does not work.
