Takata recall. BMW did not make me aware of this dangerous airbag recall. I was in the process of transferring my lease to another willing party when BMW notified me of the recall issue and blocked the lease transfer which they had previously agreed to. They also will not let me purchase the vehicle. Both these issues breach the lease agreement I signed with them. The car is unusable with such a defect and is likely to take 6months or more to fix.
