| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Nothing has happened yet to my 2003 bmw m3, but reading about the takata recall and what the airbags are capable is scaring me to death. My 5 year nephew loves riding around town in his uncle's "race car". Even though i rarely go faster than the speed limit, you would never know by the look on his face as the air washes across his face. It has been garage kept since i have owned it and have only put 5k miles on it in this 4 years i have owned it. The fact that something like this could go wrong despite my meticulous care taken of the car is really causing me panic. Should i quit driving the car and leave it in the garage asap until things get figured out? Please inform me on what i should do. |
