If your vehicle did not have a Sport Wheel when you purchased new and you retro fitted one after the fact with the Sport Airbag, how do you go about being part of this recall?

I'd bet you would not.

They will probably tell you to go kick rocks.

On the phone with BMW NA right now....

They're basically going to say too bad so sad. Wasn't originally equipped on the car, not their fault you sourced something years ago that was later recalled.

Had the dealer "read" the code on the airbag and it's not part of the recall

Did they say anything about replacing it had it been a part even though it was a retrofit?

Got my letter today. It is just informing me of the recall and nothing can be done yet.

In light of the recent post on SMG paddles...it just reminded me. Any updates on the recall....

Not an E53 owner anymore but....
 

...I was just at the dealer on Friday. I asked about the status for my E70 airbag recall. The SA said it's going to be a YEAR before they even put a dent in the backlog of vehicles. He also said that because recalled cars without replaced bags cannot be sold by the dealer, they are offering (his words) "stupid low lease renewals" because "they would have no place to store all the unsellable cars, and the 17 inventory has already begun to fill the lots".

Tanaka made a lot of airbags apparently....
