Warning Light On Problems of BMW 330 - part 2

The airbag warning lamp came on and stayed on. At the same time the overhead warning light came on indicating that the passenger side airbag was deactivated. These warning lights have been on continually for over a year. There has been a recall for this situation for other 2006 BMW 3-series but according to BMW my VIN is not part of the recall as of 11/20/2012l. I find it hard to believe that my car being affected by this known issue is just a coincidence.

Front passenger safety sensor (oc3 seat mat) had premature failure while driving with passenger. Failure results in dash warning lights illumination as well disablement of passenger air bag. Air bag disablement could have resulted in fatality, system should force the air bag on if sensor fails. Related recall is in affect for similar year models but Bmwna believes this is an unrelated because the seat types are different (sport seat vs. Standard seat). BMW (along with sub component supplier) should fix this problem by extending compensation to all of those who had to voluntarily replace faulty sensors and recalling 2006 330i sport seat owners as well. Safety systems should not fail within the first 40,000 miles of automobile's life. Will provide failed hardware upon request to BMW or NHTSA.
