3 Front Seat Head Restraint problem of the 2013 BMW 528

Failure Date: 08/03/2017

My care has 30000 miles; warranty expired in Nov 2016. I have never been in an accident and have maintained the car very well. I got a warning sign that read 'passenger restraint system malfunction'. I took it to the dealer and he said the szl (steering angle sensor) and the passenger seat mat have to be replaced. In reading several threads I think this is a common complaint that is not addressed by BMW. I am unclear as to why a restraint system issue doesn't fall under safety which would allow for coverage under extended warranty.

I was driving my car and suddenly the restraint system malfunction light turned on and the seatbelt light turned on. I did not hit a bump or anything. There was no passenger currently sitting on the passenger seat when the light came on. I have tried sitting down on the passenger seat and put on my seat belt to see if it will go away but no luck. Also, the seat belt light will not go away even if I buckle the drivers seat and passenger seat belt.
