Description of the problem | Bmw drivers air bag module recall, campaign no. 16v-071. The driver's front air bag module recall for my 2010 bmw 335i x-drive coupe, dated 02-05-2016 was sent to me in march 2016. I called richmond, va bmw as soon as i received the recall notice. I was told the air bag module would be placed on order. I followed up with kay in the richmond bmw service office on 10-06-2016 and was told the air bag module was placed on order. I called richmond bmw service department again today, 01-30-2017, and was told 30 million bmws were recalled for air bag modules and that this caused the delay. I was also told that the air bag modules were scheduled to be received this spring 2017. This is unacceptable. I can not just park my car. A one year delay to replace my car's air bag module is unacceptable since the air bag module could cause my "serious injury or death." |
