Description of the problem	Takata recall hello madam/ sir, i received a safety recall notice - 16v-071 regarding faulty drivers side airbags in my 2009 bmw m3. The notice (attached) clearly states that in an event of airbag getting deployed, the airbag might explode causing serious injury or death. Bmw says that they don't have any information of when new parts will be available. To avoid any potential issue of something happening, i have been renting a car for a while. I have also contacted bmw and have been unsuccessful so far to receive any help. Bmw told me that bmw dealership of ann arbor will contact me for alternate transportation and then bmw of ann arbor told me that they are not supporting this recall. I have just been going back and forth with bmw and the dealership without any assistance. How am i supposed to drive a vehicle when the recall clearly states that explosion of airbag might even cause death? I can't just afford to continue renting a car. Any help from nhtsa would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to provide more information. Kind regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
