Another Airbag Recall?

[BMWM3186]

My airbag recall has been completed, took them about 10 minutes once they got the car in.

Woah, and to think I almost rear ended someone slamming on their breaks making a U-Turn yesterday. My local DL was pretty good about it last time

Currently sitting at the dealer getting the drivers air bag (finally) and the passenger one replaced...again!

Having mine replaced on Tuesday morning.

Got my letter today referencing Recall Campaign No. 19V-853: Driver's Air Bag Inflator (NADI) for certain model year 1999-2001 3-series vehicles. They will inspect the driver air bag inflator and, if necessary, replace it with a newly designed inflator (approx. 1 hour repair).

The NHTSA site shows the following for the 2002 325xi and 2006 330ic:
1 Unrepaired Recalls associated with this VIN
Jan 15,2020
Manufacturer Recall Number - NA
NHTSA Recall Number - 20V018
Recall Status - Recall Incomplete
Summary - PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG: This recall is for vehicles which have already had the Takata PSPI passenger front air bag replaced as part of a previous recall. During air bag deployment in an accident, the passenger's front air bag module may produce excessive internal pressure that could cause the inflator to explode.

Interesting, as I never did get a letter. But, when I called South Bay BMW they had me in their system (I know the recall is more a corporate HQ thing).

Same here. I never got a letter but i called the local dealer and they are doing it tomorrow morning. Looking forward to test driving the loaner.

Called my local dealer today and they could schedule me but stated that I needed to drop my car off and leave it for 24 hours. I told them that wasnt an option and that the replacement of the recalled item shouldnt take that long (I waited when I had my driver side airbag done). The girl on the phone continued to insist that I needed to leave the car to which I continued to reply that I cant do that.

Going to call back tomorrow and talk to someone else who is willing to schedule me for a same day return, shouldnt take that damn long to replace and I dont trust my car being left anywhere, even if its the dealer.

X2...

For those who have done the recall now have to go back again.

They offer a mobile service but it’s only for the drivers side.

People are reporting broken trim, scratched rims and broken airbag plugs.

This is whole recall is a fiasco.
