Airbag / seatbelt sensor faulty passenger restraint system malfunction error on the system. BMW had a recall earlier for 2004-2006 vehicles where BMW replaces the seat mat free of cost. I called the dealer for my 2010 528i and they are saying there is no recall; however I see thousands of users across the country are complaining about the same issue.
