I had my airbags replaced but the man sitting in the seat is on with a airback in his lap I was told that the mrs control needs to be replaced, and at the dealership they said that the bad airbags may have caused this issue, I want to know if BMW is goinn to take care of this, because none of the air bags work without the mrs module I have no protection if I am in an accident this needs to be recalled or at least BMW needs to pay for half the cost.

The contact owns a 2003 BMW 325I. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle struck the curb and caused the passenger side air bags to deploy. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (momentum BMW, 10002 southwest freeway, houston, tx, 855-645-6452). The air bag was previously repaired per an unknown recall; therefore, the dealer would not repair it again for free. The air bag was not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact also received a takata settlement notice and was referred to 833-619-7579. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

I looked up my vehicle through a form I received in the mail "airbagrecall" and my vehicle qualified for the recall. Both of my airbags were listed in the recall, I tried to call the dealer to take care of this safety hazard and they told me that they did not have the necessary parts to take care of the recall, and they couldn't help me.
