2011 BMW 1 SERIES Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1344116
Internal NHTSA #	10937668
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	1 SERIES
Model Year	2011
File date	01/03/16
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I've been waiting for nearly ten months to be notified about when replacement parts would be available for my car's recalled driver-side airbag module (recall campaign no. 16v-071). Over the past ten months, i've called bmw several times to get information about when it expects to receive replacement parts. Each time, i've been told to simply wait! Apparently, bmw expects me to wait long enough for it to explode in my face and either kill me or cause severe bodily injury! During my most recent call with bmw, on dec. 27th, 2016, i was informed that it will be at least another six months before bmw expects to receive parts. That is completely unacceptable; therefore, i am submitting an official complaint to nhsta about bmw's lack of responsiveness to remedy this extremely dangerous driver airbag module situation.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
