My 2006 BMW has an airbag light on I brought it to a dealership and they said it's the passenger side occupancy mat in the seat I received an email for a recall my year make and model but when I called they said that I'm not part of that recall I would like to get further explanation of why other year make and model the same as mine is under warranty and I'm having that problem and it will not be compensated for if I have my son in the passenger seat in the airbag does not go off and he dies his BMW responsible for that.
The airbag light has been on in my vehicle since I bought it in November 2016. During my state inspection in October 2017, my mechanic told me that the operation of the airbag system is broken and it cannot tell when to deploy airbags in the event of an accident. I believe this problem has already been identified in a a recall applicable to the same make, model, and year as my vehicle (recall 17v-428) but my VIN is not showing up as one of the vehicles detected.

I recently purchased my 2006 530i. The airbag indicator showed a default so I took it my local dealership. I was told that there was a default in the mat sensor and it needs to be replaced at a cost of $781. 72. I researched and found that there was a recall for this exact issue for my make, model and year. I contacted my local dealership as well as BMW north America customer service. I was told by both that my VIN was not included in the recall so the repair is on me. I also see that many other owners have had this same issue. Clearly there is a problem that BMW needs to correct.

I received a safety recall stating the sensor mat for the front passenger airbag is defective in January 2014 and the airbags do not work. The expected date for repairs would be March 2014. Called in March and was told they did not have a solution and it would be may 2014. Called on may23rd and was insured they had a solution and recall for repairs were being sent out by may 31st, 2014. Called again on June 13, 2014 and am now told they still have no solution and are hoping for July or August of 2014. My airbag light has been on since January for a known defect with BMW and still no resolution. This is not a reasonable period of time and a safety issue that is not being corrected.
