BMW has a recall on the air bag for this year and model but they refuse to honor the recall saying that only certain VIN# were covered. How can that be when mine has failed, should I not be covered since I have a sensor that failed.
- Merritt Island, FL, USA
Air bag occupancy sensor mat fault illuminated upon initial start of the vehicle in the morning. Took it to the dealer the next day and was diagnosed as having a defective passenger occupancy mat. However, the current recall does not cover it even though its a 2007 because the build date was Feb 2007 and the recall covers build dates of 2005 to Sept. 2006. This should be covered under the same recall.

- Bend, OR, USA
My passenger air bags are inoperable in my vehicle. It was this way when I bought the car. It was reported to me the vehicle was under recall for the situation but when I had the car taken to the dealership, they informed me my particular vehicle wasn't under recall. My question is why is my car isn't one of the vehicles under recall. I had the car checked out by a certified BMW mechanic and he stated it's in the passenger occupancy detector.
