TAKATA RECALL, I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE FIXED, SINCE BMW WAS PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT RENTAL THIS MATTER WAS RESOLVED VERY QUICKLY. THIS TIME WITH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, BMW IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR MY RENTAL BECAUSE BMW CORPORATE DID NOT OPEN A CAMPAIGN ON MY CAR. I ALREADY CALLED BMW CORPORATE AND MENTIONED I FEARED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY, BUT THEY DID NOT CARE. I WISH TO PARK MY X-6, BE GIVEN AN ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL MY AIRBAG IS FIXED. NO RECALL LETTER HAS BEEN SENT AS WELL. THIS RECALL STARTED ON MAY 25TH AND NO LETTER HAS BEEN SEND. I FIND BMW NEGLIGENT AND TO SAVE MONEY ON RENTAL, ISN'T SENDING LETTERS TO CLIENTS AFFECTED. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC EVENT FIND BMW 100% LIABLE TO FULL EXTEND OF THE LAW.
