TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS THE SUBJECT OF 2 TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS -- #16V071 (MARCH 2016) AND #16V364 (MAY 2016). IT IS REGISTERED AND USED MOSTLY IN NAPLES, FLORIDA -- PART OF BMW'S DESIGNATED HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AREA ("HAHA"). I WAS TOLD IN MAY THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER. I WAS TOLD THIS MORNING THAT PARTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER. IN A SITUATION SUCH AS THIS -- WHICH INVOLVES A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT -- I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT NHTSA TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION TO FORCE DEALERS TO MAKE LOANER CARS AVAILABLE TO AFFECTED CAR OWNERS ONCE A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME HAS ELAPSED FROM THE DATE OF THE INITIAL RECALL. OTHERWISE, THERE IS NO INCENTIVE FOR CAR DEALERS/MANUFACTURERS TO MOVE QUICKLY -- THE LONGER THEY WAIT, THE FEWER CARS THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF MY REQUEST. *TR
