Occupant Classification System - Ocs (front Passenger) problems of the 2008 BMW 328

As soon as the vehicle is started a warning will pop up for �passenger restraint system malfunction� caused by the seat occupancy sensor failing on the front passenger seat. The warning will stay on and not go away. A previous recall for similar year models has been announced but it didn't cover all affected vehicles due to similar sensors being used across all these year models. BMW wants to charge 1000+ dollars for this sensor repair due to them saying this is an �unaffected vehicle�. Without this sensor working properly, in the event of a collision, the passenger airbag could not deploy which can cause serious injury or death. BMW refuses to do anything about this without a recall announced, or without thousands of dollars being spent just for the safety of my passengers.
