Out of the blue the airbag light came on.i became concerned and did not want to drive it- i didn't know why or what to do about it.the light stays on constantly and never goes out.i had an auto mechanic look at it but he had not knowledge of what it might be.i continued to drive the care and the light remained on.i wasn't driving it everyday so i was not worried very much.but i had read about a recall of some bmw's were having problems with their airbags and i thought that could be it.i am going to get to the bottom of this problem as that seems to be the only problem i have been experiencing with my car, hope this works out and it can be repaired as it is a safety issue and how would i know if the airbag will deploy if i should need it for protecting me and my family.
Takata recallhello, i'm at my bmw service center now (bmw of fairfax) to have service done on my car. I received notification of the takata air bag recall and notified the service center as to when i can get my air bags fixed. They could not give me a definitive time line. I went to the service center today to have regular service done on my car and again they could not give me an exact time line. They said, "maybe a year but we're not sure." i also asked if bmw is still offering their car rental program until the issue is resolved but the service center said bmw is no longer offering this. I'm concerned that the service center does not want to perform the work as i'm sure this is at a major cost to them.

Driving to work this morning, the passenger airbag above the door erupted. My vehicle was not hit by anything. I have no damage to the outside at all.i need to know how this airbag recall affects me, because it talks about in the event of a crash...and i wasn't in a wreck of any sort.
I got this recall last year...i called the dealership here in clear lake houston, and i was told they don't make the airbags for this recall... And he said call back ......well i have for 2 years not! then i got a new letter saying that they where in stock and make an appointment so i callled the dealership again.........and again i was told they don't make these parts......im sorry but this doesn't make me feel very safe. I guess i just don't understand why they don't make these parts..its suppose to protect me

I was notified of recall campaign no: 15v-318 in july 2015. Driver side air bag needs to be replaced due to possible serious injury or death if inflated on impact. I have called the local dealership. Inskip bmw on numerous occasions and they say that they have not received the replacement part. If it is this dangerous, why is it taking so long?

Just happens while the vehicle is in motion and stationary mostly while the vehicle is stationary. You can hear it click and sometimes i even pull it to make sure it is clicked in because of this problem and sometimes after i do that it will unclick, ithappens mostly on the driver side but every once in a while on the passenger side not know if this happens in the rear seat belts.
