I REC'D A RECALL NOTICE FROM BMW ABOUT 30 DAYS AGO AND HEARD NOTHING. I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC. THIS INVOLVES AIR WARNING THAT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND AM CONCERN IF IN AN ACCIDENT WILL AIR DEPLOY. I DO BELIEVE THE RECALL IS MORE WIDE SPREAD THEN WHAT THEY ARE ADMITTING TO. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM BWM A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO; 'RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 13V-564: FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT'. THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THAT THEY WOULD BE SHORTLY AND BMW WOULD SEND OUT A NOTICE ONCE THEY WERE AVAILABLE. MY VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL LETTER WHICH WAS 'THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE FRONT "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" LAMP IN THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE ARE ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME'. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A SERVICE CENTER (CENTER BMW IN SHERMAN OAKS, CA); THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECALL AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IN MARCH WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. NOT ONLY ARE THE PARTS STILL UNAVAILABLE, BUT THE RECALL NOTICE HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR SOME REASON. MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING THOUGH. I AM FORCED TO HAVE PASSENGERS TRAVEL IN THE FRONT SEAT AT TIMES AND AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS THEY WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT. WHO CAN I CONTACT TO HELP WITH THIS??? *TT

THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED BY BMW FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY MODEL AND OTHER MODELS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE COVERED BASED ON MY VIN NUMBER. *TR
