Consumer Description

Re: 25V-636 We received a recall notice for the above notice over a month ago. No further communication has been sent from BMW in the status of new part availability and they refuse to assist with accommodations because of the scale of the recall. The letter clearly states that there is a fire risk and to not park near structures. This leaves almost everybody who owns affected cars with no option but to put themselves or someone else at risk of this car catching on fire - where else can you park a car that might catch on fire? Its been 4 months since this recall has been issued nationally and no communicated resolution or targetted timing for resolution. Im concerned this recall will potentially start a gigantic car fire and harm someone, their homes, or their neighbors' property. I find it completely unacceptable that there's not even clear resolution timing for this problem which is essentially a ticking time bomb. People with these cars need help beyond what we're able to do as individuals. Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
