Bmw is conducting a safety recall campaign on approximately 200,000 my04 through my06 subject vehicles built through 11/30/05 to correct the front passenger seat air bag occupant detection mat. The specific vehicles included in the recall aremy04- 06/ 5-series with standard and sport seats, my04-06/ x3-series and my06/ 3-series with sport seats. In addition, bmw will extend the warranty coverage of the passenger seat air bag occupant detection mat to 10-year/unlimited mileage on approximately 120,000 remaining my04-06 subject vehicles built through 11/30/05. The specific vehicles included in the extended warranty are my 06/ 6 series, my 06/ 3-series with standard seats, my04-05/ z4, my04-06/ 7 series, my 06/ x5, and my04-06/ 5-series with comfort seats.The average frequency of failures among the extended warranty groups was less than 1/7th of the recall vehicle groups.Please see bmws 08v-384 recall notification for further detailsdepending on seat configuration and vehicle geometry, the occupant detection mat can fatigue during use depending on the manner and frequency of the front passengers entry and exit.Specifically, over time, micro-cracks could develop in the side flanks of the mat causing a broken circuit.A brokencircuit can lead to the deactivation of the passenger air bag and the illumination of both the air bag warning light and the passenger air bag light.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 bmw 530i. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated while driving, which was a safety concern. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the failure affected the air bags, and that the floor mat sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and indicated that an unknown recall campaign was available from 2009; however, the statute expired. The manufacturer provided no solution. The failure mileage was not available.

My idrive showed a message indicating that the airbag in the passenger side was deactivated because of a sensor or similar issue. I took this to the dealer, asked for it to be covered under the previous service bulletin which indicated the seat mat sensor was defective. The dealership indicated they would not fix it. I contacted bmw north america and they said they might fix it if i paid for the assessment. The assessment suggested there was a defect in different sensor. And suggested that a battery cable should be replaced. All other systems in the car works fine. Both bmw and the dealer refused to fix this issue. There have been no other reported cases of the battery cable actually causing the airbags to be deactivated. Today, the airbag is still not working, and bmw has refused to fix the problem.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger seat occupant detection mat was faulty and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v564000 (air bags) because the vehicle was previously repaired under the manufacturer's extended warranty.

I bought this car last year with 140,000 miles on it. The passenger side airbag light and seatbelt light both came on after maybe a month of driving. I took it to the bmw shop and they said that it came on because i had something heavy sitting in the seat---nothing heavier than my purse. They wanted to charge me a diagnosis fee to turn the light off but i refused. That is not a caution in the handbook so how was i suppose to know that was problem. I'm worried that my seatbelt and airbag may malfunction in the case of an accident. I had the same problem with my 2005 bmw 525.

I purchased the vehicle from someone. The passenger restraint system malfunction signal on computer has come on, the brake pad malfunction warning has also come on, along with the left brake light malfunction! I have tried to have bmw honor the warranty on the problem with the passenger restraint, to no avail! I have asked the service advisor several times, they are saying i needed to pay to have this done, although it was still under the terms of 10 year rule! The light and brakes are fine, however i can't figure out why the computer says otherwise, unless there are some undetermined problems. The brakes and sensor have been replaced! The light is working properly, yet the computers reading differently. I have asked on several different occasions about the passenger restraint, the female sales advisor states i have to pay for this!
