2008 BMW 1 Series Air bags Problems

Dealer and Bmw of na state that my vehicle has not yet been included in recall. …”

“The passenger seat occupant sensor began to sound off to secure the seat belt though no one sat there. I reported this problem to Bmw when I got the takata airbag replaced and got a questions about my opinion on whether I considered it a safety issue. I declined to say and they just sent me away. A couple months later, I noticed that even when a passenger sat there the airbag activation did not turn off as it should. I took the vehicle in for a repair on the seat and told them that they should repair it at their expense 11/17/2017. …”

“Takata recall. Bmw is providing replacement air bags to their dealers and the dealers are using them to replace air bags on their cars being sold, not to their customers. I received my recall notice may 27th 2016 and am still waiting for the replacement.”

“Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Bmw 1. The contact received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v071000 (air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.”
