My car is not on the airbag recall list but I have had this error for awhile now & it appears to be related to the airbag issue (not sure if my car has a tekata.) the message comes up on the screen- pass. Restraint system- fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter. Continue to wear the safety belt. I also have a picture of the error.

- Miami Springs, FL, USA

Upon starting engine passenger-side air bag fault lights appeared indicating air bags would not work in an accident. Passenger seat was unoccupied at the time and no items were on the seat. Dealer reset and reported diagnostic tests detected low voltage condition to that circuit. Dealer reset. Dealer recommended I purchase a new battery. I purchased a new battery 10 days later.during the interval between reset and new battery the lights did not reappear. 9/2014 I was driving at highway speeds when passenger side air bag fault lights appeared. Seat was unoccupied at the time and no objects were on the seat. Dealer diagnosed same as above. At time of this incident battery was 1.5 years old. No liquids have ever been spilled on seat. No moisture on seat. Mileage at time of incident was 23,900. Driver's side air bag fault warning did not appear during either incident. Presumably that circuit would be subjected to the same low voltage condition as the passenger side.

I received a safety recall stating the sensor mat for the front passenger airbag is defective in January 2014 and the airbags do not work. The expected date for repairs would be March 2014. Called in March and was told they did not have a solution and it would be May 2014. Called on may23rd and was insured they had a solution and recall for repairs were being sent out by May 31st, 2014. Called again on June 13, 2014 and am now told they still have no solution and are hoping for July or August of 2014. My airbag light has been on since January for a known defect with BMW and still no resolution. This is not a reasonable period of time and a safety issue that is not being corrected.

I was sent a letter from BMW in January 2014 concerning recall 13V564: Front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat. The letter states that BMW does not have sufficient parts to conduct the recall and I would be notified when they are available. It is now 6 months later (June 2014) and I have not been notified; and I have called my dealer (BMW seattle) a few times only to be told they still do not have the parts. This is extremely concerning as the air bag warning lamp came on right after I received the letter concerning the recall. I appreciate the company notifying me of the recall but it is pointless if they cannot correct it and it makes them look like they've done their due diligence of notifying me but other then that they have no sense of urgency. I would think for a recall on safety equipment they would expedite securing the parts to correct the issue.

- Seattle, WA, USA

My vehicle meets the criteria for BMW recall 13V564 but because the vehicle production date is 2 months outside the VIN range BMW will not correct the defect. All other criteria apply - make, model, year, etc. The passenger side front seat occupancy detection mat may fail, resulting in resulting in a deactivation of the passenger side air bag system. A warning display and issue was verified by an authorized BMW repair center. The repair has not been made.

I bought the car it had an oil leak, radiator leak, developed an air bag malfunction, the engine stopped running, tar is accumulating on top of the sunroof every time I open it, the heater fan makes noise, the transmission makes noise after four attempts it is still leaking oil. All of my friends who own BMW's have also had air bag malfunctions. None were part of the recall, all paid $1,300 to have it fixed. BMW should have recalled all of them. The purpose of recalling some is to avoid a total recall. They are building their cars with inferior parts so that they do not last for more than 60,0000 before major problems occur. One of my friends has spent over $10,000 on repairs to his 2004 X3.

- Huntington Station, NY, USA

A message stating a passenger restraint malfunction keeps coming on. Did some research and it said there is a recall for my vehicle. After calling the dealing and giving him my VIN# he told me it was not covered. This seems to be a serious oversight by BMW and needs to be addressed.

I bought a used BMW from long island auto find. Before picking it up I told nick certain things needed to be done there was a drafty sound coming from the moon roof the center rims were corroded, bolts were missing from the valve cover. I was called three days in a row by nick who claimed everything was done and the car was ready to be picked up. When I got the re not only was the battery dead, nothing on my list was done! I have since had the car 5 month and I has been in the shop 5 weeks so far. Passenger side air bag malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. There was an oil leak that caused my eyes to water and leaves a funny taste in my mouth. This took three different attempts to fix. The car moves from side to side at 65 mph. The car just died while taking my wife to work. I brought it to the shop it did it on the mechanic but he could not determine the cause. He said it was safe to take to Florida which is the reason I bought it. It stalled in Florida while entering an intersection then again in Delaware at 3:30 in the morning and 13 degrees! and again on the bqe as three lanes of traffic merged into one.I have 2 friends with the same car they were charged $1300 to fix the "air bag malfunction"everyone should be reimbursed. I am told the gaskets become brittle and leak. All of these issue's should be part of a recall.

Warning sensor for passenger seat belt not active would start showing on my dash and upper console last year. Received letter in Jan 2014 about possible recall in the future campaign 13V-564. Today is March 08,2014 after being diverted several times during phone calls, I demanded if they can review my warnings in my dash board but to scan the car for any problems it would be a charged of $140. Fields BMW at winter park fl, said that in order for the service to be free of charge, I would have to wait until I get the letter that states a formal recall needs to be performed. I have a family of four and even thought the warning does not come on often, I still have worries that if in case of an accident the airbags or the seat belt won't work. I don't have the luxury to use multiple cars where ever I go with my kids. I purchased a sound car and I would like the peace of mind that the airbags and seat belts will protect anyone in the passenger and rear seats at time of need. I am afraid that we are waiting for a tragedy to happen before an actual recall is performed.
