My vehicle has had the recall for the air bag completed. The light continues to come back for the passenger side SRS. Why can't BMW fix this recall once and for all?

Occupancy seat sensor failure after recall campaign 17V-605 completed. The sensor mat failed within 16 months of the repair which means the parts used for the campaign are faulty as well. BMW refuses to fix the issue. This failure will result in the passenger front air bag to not deploy as so stated in the original recall campaign.
