Had heard from freinds about NHTSA recall 13v564000 regarding the passenger side air bag system on 2006 BMW 5 series sedans and others. I never recieved any notifications from BMW in the mail regarding this recall. In June 2014, the passenger side air bag sensor in my car failed as described in the NHTSA recall notice. I went to the BMW dealer to inqurie about the recall and to find out why I did not recieve a notice in the mail. I was told by the service representative that my particular vehicle VIN was not associated with the recall. I asked the service representative exactly why it was not covered at which he replied "I'm not sure, it's just not on the list". I then proceeded to contact BMW of north America to inquire about the recall. The representative for BMW on the phone basically had the same response as the service representative at the dealership, she was uncertain why my vehicle was not covered and why certain vehicles of the same make, model, and year were covered by the recall. The representative at BMW north America suggested that I contact NHTSA regarding the issue. Please help shed some light on why my particular BMW is not covered even though it has the failure as outlined in the recall notice. In addition, what criteria was used to determine which vehicles and parts were recalled.

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!.

Passenger side air bag warning. Took vehicle to dealer here in florida - we are here for the winter. Dealer bramen in west palm beach quoted us $1700 to repair. We declined as we thought the cost was exorbitant. The dealer rep said it was a safety problem and needed repair. I have looked on the internet and see prior model years have been recalled for what appears to be a similar problem.

The passenger side air bag cover is coming on and off intermittenly. Please provide additional information dealer is aware of the problem. Ts.
