| Description of the problem | This car is subject to the airbag recall. I was first notified of this in september 2014. Since then, bmw has repeatedly put off the target date for this repair. Back in october 2014, an article in the financial times stated that replacement parts for the first 25% of the parts would not be available until february 2015. If bmw was aware of this in october 2014, why didn't they make alternate arrangements with another vendor and backcharge takata? |
