Air Bag Light On Problems of BMW 325 - part 2

The air bag light / occupant detect sensor needed to be replaced because it was defective. I paid over $1000 to repair. My mechanic told me there is a safety recall of the air bag frontal sensor control module for my vehicle year, make and model. I never received the recall notice and BMW claims the recall is VIN specific. This seems unsafe and unfair as this is the very problem that I repaired. I have traveled thousands of miles transporting my family in the front passenger seat without knowing that they were not protected by the air bags.

2006 BMW 325i. Consumer writes in regards to air bag recall. The consumer the air bag light illuminated. BMW informed him, the vehicle was excluded from the recall.

Out of the blue the airbag light came on. I became concerned and did not want to drive it- I didn't know why or what to do about it. The light stays on constantly and never goes out. I had an auto mechanic look at it but he had not knowledge of what it might be. I continued to drive the care and the light remained on. I wasn't driving it everyday so I was not worried very much. But I had read about a recall of some BMW's were having problems with their airbags and I thought that could be it. I am going to get to the bottom of this problem as that seems to be the only problem I have been experiencing with my car, hope this works out and it can be repaired as it is a safety issue and how would I know if the airbag will deploy if I should need it for protecting me and my family.

The passenger air bag light started going on and off when a passenger is and is not sitting in the passenger seat. The defect is clearly the seat weight sensor that many others have cited. This is a significant safety issue. I called the dealer, and like many others, I was told my vehicle was not covered under NHTSA campaign id number: 08v384000. The dealer wanted to charge $125 for the diagnosis and $1500-1700 (estimate) to replace the seat mat. All the cost is was going to be the owner's responsibility. Mileage is currently 71k. I'm hopeful this compliant helps push the NHTSA and BMW to extend the recall to all 2006 325i models so owners don't have to absorb the high cost of a serious safety and design defect that could lead to a serious injury or death.

A few weeks ago when I was driving with a passenger my airbag light came and all sorts of cautions popped up on my I drive about the passenger air bag and seat belt restraints. Later on that day when I did not have a passenger with me everything was fine. Now almost every time I have a passenger with me the light comes on. From all the research I have been doing on this was a recall for this same exact problem but only on the early model 2006 325i. So I called BMW USA earlier today gave them my VIN and my 2006 325i was not apart of the recall! which I do not understand because the recall should have covered all the 2006 because there were a lot more cases of this happening to even the late model 325i. So is there any way my VIN can be added to the recall so I can get this safety issue resolved?.
