Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor error displayed in vehicle information center. Warning restraint/Air Bag not functioning properly. This was taken to the BMW dealership for diagnosis, and it was determined the Passenger Occupancy Sensor has failed and needs to be replaced. There was no recall listed for this issue. I found there was a Service Information Bulletin from BMW acknowledging the issue SB-10056703-9690 with many affected models of vehicles, that has been updated in 2018 to include additional. It currently does not list the E93 model, but does list E90 and E91 and stated the affected component if electric adjustable seats is seat option code 459. My vehicle has the same option code as listed as the affected components. BMW extended warranty coverage for owners of vehicles adding additional models with E91 in 2018. They should cover over models with the affected component as it presents a safety issue and is a common failing part.

Takata recall. Despite my having received 2 recall notices regarding my airbag, and my car's VIN being listed on NHTSA.dot.gov as being subject to an airbag recall, the BMW dealer listed on my recall notice, BMW of mountain view, in mountain view, California, refused to do the recall repair on 5/16/2018 on the basis that their computer system said there were no open recalls on the vehicle. They further said that the recall notice I received meant that their might be a recall but that in fact there was no recall.
