Recallcampaign no.15v-318 : driver side front air bag module for my BMW x5 I received notice that they will change driver side front air bag module in july 2015 but after till date no intimation has been received when they will replace it. Also want to point to notice that my car met with an headon accident with tree in 2012 (I think) but that time no airbags got opened despite such strong head on collision with big tree. I am concerned about my car and my safety while I drive this car.
