The idrive control panel is showing an alert that the passenger airbag has failed. I contacted BMW customer service and they say my VIN is not included in NHTSA campaign number 13V564000 (air bags) even though the description of the problem matches my problem exactly. I have a 2006 BMW 325xi with standard seats and according to 13V564000 I should be eligible for coverage under the extended warranty. BMW is telling me I am responsible for the repairs.

Front seat passenger seat occupancy sensor failed. Most 2006 BMW 3 series were recalled for this issue. Our car was not included in the recall but had the identical problem. I believe my car should have been included in the recall.
