TAKATA RECALL. MFGR CAMPAIGN #: SI B65 15 16. BMW 2011 335I COUPE. I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL BMW SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE LAST MARCH 2016, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS. IT'S NOW OVER A YEAR AND BMW IS CLAIMING THE SAME THING. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT'S NOT A "MONEY MAKER" FOR THEM ANYMORE. I'M TIRED OF BEING LIED TO. HOW CAN THE AIRBAG BE FIXED?
