This is the info. Directly from BMW website regarding the reacll safety issue. Sep 28, 2017 | recall campaign no.17V-605 front passenger seat occupant detection mat description of problem this safety recall involves the front passenger seat occupant detection mat. Depending on seat configuration and vehicle geometry, the mat can fatigue during field usage depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit. Specifically, over time micro-cracks could develop in the side flanks of the mat. If a micro-crack leads to a break of a conductive path, the system will recognize a failure. Consequently, the front passenger air bags with the exception of the head protection system will be deactivated. Safety risk in a crash of sufficient severity, the front passenger air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury. Description of repair BMW will replace the front passenger seat occupant detection sensor mat. Final owner notification letters are being mailed on a staggered basis as parts become available.
