Airbag Recall

[Chef NOLA]

FYI - just received Takata airbag recall for driver's side (one of gazillion vehicles). Looks like MY'16 is on the list.

Of course no parts available. My guess is fall/winter @ best. In the meantime I now have a personal IED on wheels...

[patrobX5]

Why would BMW use their airbags on 2016 MY when there were aware of all their recalls?? Is there no other manufacturer of airbags?

[spike5150]

is yours M-sport or other line - different airbag in each.

[alphaod]

Interesting there is no recall on mine.

The 13 35d, got rid of. Good riddance... Salesman said would not be
able to resell till airbags replaced. So they have X5 trades just sitting on
the back lot

Was told BMW paying dealers to let the trade-in sit on there lot till fixed.
So they are in no hurry to fix

2016 50i M-Sport and no recall/campaigns here.

Just got the notice that my 12/14 build, 2015 model X5 is included in the recall.

[BimmerF32_430i]

Checked on Bmw website and it says no recall for September 2015 build

Just a stock xDrive 3.5. Build was in Jan.

[boyce89976]

2014 50i M Sport and no active recalls. The '11 335 I traded for the X5 had the airbag recall though.

[Jdavuga]

I got the letter yesterday for my 2013 that I traded in when I got my 2016. It said only through 2015 was included

[Xeno]

Today I got a letter for Recall Campaign #16V-071. It mentions X5s from 2006-2015 but does not specifically say if this is about my wife's 2008 4.8i X5 or my 2015 5.0i X5 (11/11/15 build) or both.

As others have noted, the parts are not available but they will notify me when they are.

Edited to say a VIN is noted so this is for my 2008 4.8i X5, not my 2015 X5.

[cobra006]

No recalls on mine yet, MY15 X5 35D, production date 8/4/2014

I'm surprised a 2016 X5 is included?

On the other hand my other honda isn't so lucky. No parts til summer.

Can you verify if the notice you received is for F15?
Latest BMW information states F15 is NOT included in the Takata recall or Campaign #16V-071 as of April 2016:

[Stinkyxy]

2015 X5s were recalled for airbags in March 2015 for Canada.

BMW should have switched airbag suppliers a while ago, this Takata recall is not new!

I can only think of one thing: $$$$$$$$

[2016sx5]

like said heard from a Salesman, BMW is paying the dealership to let the affected
trades sit on the back lot. So even if a year, they will be well compensated.

So i asked if this is affecting the low ball trade offer. OH NO, LOL LOL
Think they are using it as a tool, when they are being paid to hold

it is new if it affects f15.as of right now bmwusa states f15 is not affected.

I meant it's not new in general, most of these airbag recalls started back in 2013-2014. BMW could have switched suppliers a while ago and not risk it but I guess $ talks.

[iconoclast]

so the question still remains... those who claimed they received airbag recall notices. was it for your f15 or another vehicle? at this point there does not seem to be one affected f15 in the US/NAR according to BMWUSA.

[Kzang]

I've posted this a while back too and the F15 X5 is not affected by the recall.
