Description of the problem	Takata recall. This complaint is due to the slow response of nalley bmw in decatur georgia to replace my airbag. I received my recall letter and immediately called the bmw dealer on sept 7th. I was told that parts were ordered and i would be called when they arrived. By sept 16th i had heard nothing and called again. Nalley said they had no record of my having ordered parts. I was transferred to the parts department where no one answered the phone. So i called bmw national customer relations. They said they would contact the dealer and have them get in touch with me directly. Nothing happened, so today visited the dealer personally to get the parts ordered. I was told it would take an additional two weeks to receive parts. This is unacceptible. My recall letter from bmw clearly states "we have the necessary parts to complete this recall," "please contact your authorized bmw center immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free recall performed as soon as possible," and "... Metal fragments striking the driver or other passengers potentially resulting in serious injury or death." bmw has built cars with shrapnel grenades instead of airbags and now they don't care about fixing it. Bmw should not e allowed to sell another vehicle in the us until they have completed all of these critical recalls.

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.
