My vehicles passenger airbag is deactivated and my passenger seat belt warning light as well as the red airbag malfunction light stay on no matter what even when someone is sitting in the seat and whether the car is mobile or stationary, I was told it's due to the passenger occupancy sensor that has deteriorated over time ,I also have read that recalls were made for the issue but not for the coupe for some reason ,which I dont get my car has the standard seats in it and is made with the same exact part that was recalled on other models why is my car excluded when the sedan and wagon of the same year were included?.

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.
