2007 BMW seat mat sensor for activation of air bag, failed. The consumer stated the problem he experienced, is now the subject of a recall. The consumer sold the vehicle. However, he is still seeking reimbursement. Updated 02/19/14.

Warning message for passenger side air bag malfunction. Took to dealer and told it was the seat sensor. I did not replace it because it was way to much money. There are tons of complaints about the same thing happening to people with this car. Prior year cars have been recalled for the same issue. It sure seems like this year car has the same problem. Please help all of us BMW owners out. Thank you!.

The contact owns a 2007 BMW 525xi. The contact stated that the air bag light illuminated stating that the passenger side air bag was faulty and was not active. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the passenger seat needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 95,000.

My 2007 525xi has encountered the same problem covered by NHTSA campaign 08v384000 in 2008 which disables the front airbag. My for recall in that campaign ended in 2006. I was able to verify with BMW that the part number for the seat to repair the issue in my2007 is the same as my2006. Has any tracking of the occurance in my2007 occurred? why would the same part not be covered under the manuafacutures extention to the warrantee of 10 years unlimited milage? this is approximately a $1200. 00 repair to replace the seat as BMW does not sell the sensor mat without the seat.

Front passenger seat warning light activates when someone is slow getting into seat.
