Description of the problem	Bmw sent me a recall notice to replace the takata passenger side air bag. I contacted my dealer in late october. The dealer has not responded and bmw usa says it does not know when parts may be available. The car was purchased in miami, fl new from a bmw dealer and was located in the florida keys for approximately 3 years. I now live on the water in northern california where the humidity is typically 99% overnight and my deck does not dry all day due to high humidity. Summertime temperatures are in the upper 80s to low 90s with several days each summer above 100 f. While i understand parts shortages, i am also unable to drive with a passenger in my car in what i believe is a safe manner. If a manufacturer cannot fix as recall in a reasonable time they should make other provisions for vehicle owners.
