Told my F80 was affected by the recall when I had my service done in April. Told that they didn't have the parts so waiting for the phone call for an appointment when they do.

Is it drivers steering wheel airbag only, or all

I booked my M3CP in for a service today and mentioned airbag recall to the service adviser , they didn't know anything about it .... said it could be software upgrade only .... waiting for a call back to confirm ...

Interesting that a govt dept posts a recall and the dealership doesn't even know about it

Haha... it's funny the different stories people get told. My DP/Owners of the store told me a few of weeks ago our cars will make the list in the near future.

I bought my wife a new daily drive F30 series a month ago. We had the pickup date booked, but they cancelled the day before, as they just found out that day about the airbag recall, and that had to be fixed prior to delivery. They told us then her M4 would be affected as well. Funny thing is that when I put the M4 VIN into the search function for airbag recall on BMW's website it says that the car is affected, but has already been rectified?

Only affects old(er) cars, and cars in high humidity climates. 99% of us not a problem. My brother just got his wife out of a E71 into a F16 for the Takata issues - but wait there's more

Mine was done 2 weeks ago. Only the steering wheel bag.

Got my phone call today to book it in...

The old "software update." I remember having a problem with my diff making a noise in my 135i. BMW said they'd need to do a software update despite it clearly being a mechanical grinding noise. Two software updates later, they replaced the diff.

update to my post above

Both of my cars went in for service (X5 & M3) at Brighton BMW , both had drivers side airbag modules replaced under recall.

i think when i initially booked car in and they mentioned software update was a time buying exercise whilst they checked out the recall , as the link posted by "player " to the govt website mention's that the recall will be announced in July

No doubt i will now get a notice on July 1 from BMW to say to take my car in

I've checked with my dealer today and just received this.

[mynameisplayer]

Yet I had the X5 booked in for something else Monday next week and was told the Vin list is not out yet....

Got my m3 serviced recently and they did replace the airbag under campaign. I can scan the documents if it helps any one.
