Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2006 BMW 530

The car suffered a failure of the "front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat". A recall(13v-564:) was issued for this model beginning with car manufactured after Dec 1, 2005. My car was manufactured before this date, on 9/3/200, and therefore was not included in the recall. The issue I am having is the exact issue in the recall. Have any other owners of pre-Dec 1, 2005, manufacture cars reported similar issues? other recalls of the same issue are 17v-428 and 08v-384.

Insulation around the wiring in the headlights has completely crumbled off and bare wire is exposed, could possible touch and cause a fire. Passenger air bag sensor in the seat is faulty and I recieved a recall notice but BMW says there is no recall on my car and refuses to fix.

Front passenger seat occupant detection and airbag fault sensors have become activated. BMW claim my VIN is not covered by the existing recall issued for this acknowledged defect.

My vehicle's passenger seat occupancy sensor mat has failed, likely from a crack, and has resulted in the passenger airbags being completely disabled. This intermittently started happening around 2014 but has since completely broken. There is an open recall for this (see: 13v564000) however BMW states that my particular VIN is not covered and is refusing to cover the repair. BMW is obviously aware of the issue and the life threatening risks it poses to front passengers but cannot be bothered to address the issue.

I was sent a letter from BMW in January 2014 concerning recall 13v564: front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat. The letter states that BMW does not have sufficient parts to conduct the recall and I would be notified when they are available. It is now 6 months later (June 2014) and I have not been notified; and I have called my dealer (BMW seattle) a few times only to be told they still do not have the parts. This is extremely concerning as the air bag warning lamp came on right after I received the letter concerning the recall. I appreciate the company notifying me of the recall but it is pointless if they cannot correct it and it makes them look like they've done their due diligence of notifying me but other then that they have no sense of urgency. I would think for a recall on safety equipment they would expedite securing the parts to correct the issue.

Warning sensor for passenger seat belt not active would start showing on my dash and upper console last year. Received letter in Jan 2014 about possible recall in the future campaign 13v-564. Today is March 08,2014 after being diverted several times during phone calls, I demanded if they can review my warnings in my dash board but to scan the car for any problems it would be a charged of 140. 00. Fields BMW at winter park FL, said that in order for the service to be free of charge, I would have to wait until I get the letter that states a formal recall needs to be performed. I have a family of four and even thought the warning does not come on often, I still have worries that if in case of an accident the airbags or the seat belt won't work. I don't have the luxury to use multiple cars where ever I go with my kids. I purchased a sound car and I would like the peace of mind that the airbags and seat belts will protect anyone in the passenger and rear seats at time of need. I am afraid that we are waiting for a tragedy to happen before an actual recall is performed.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 BMW 530i. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the air bag and safety restraint lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where ti was stated the passenger restraint sensor needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000. St.

My 2006 BMW 530i has just experienced a malfunction of the passenger airbag / seatbelt sensor, and I took it to the BMW of sterling service center, which confirmed that the occupancy sensor in the passenger seat has failed. This is exactly the cause for the August 5 2008 BMW recall (NHTSA campaign number: 08v384000), and according to the recall description, my car should have been recalled at that time. However, BMW of sterling told me that my VIN does not show up in the recall database. I hope this is not a scam that BMW of sterling (virginia) is running, as they asked for $1400 to replace the sense, than after one more days they said they contacted BMW which agreed to pay 50% of the bill. I refused the offer, as it seems like a scam to me. Why my car was not part of the original recall, which states that all my 2004-2006 BMW 5-series (like mine) are recalled for this exact issue, and that BMW will even offer a 10-year warranty on this exact sensor? is BMW only recalling selective cars, and not all of them, to save some extra money?????.

Hello NHTSA, recall regarding my issue has already been well documented / investigated with both NHTSA and BMW. To summarize the issue is about a "passenger restraint malfunction" specifically the oc3 seat sensor mat faulty unit, which controls the front passenger airbags. When faulty, the airbags are deactivated, which raises a safety concern. I had called BMW na and had my VIN pulled and unfortunately was not included within the recall cut off date up until 11/2005, my particular model was made 12/2005. I requested BMW na to open up an investigation for re-consideration to include my vehicle under therecall list, considering the time frame of cutoff date and my vehicle manufactured production date. I was told this would be handled internally which is fine, however sense consideration will not be extended and wanted to reach out to NHTSA. My question to BMW na was, "what were the enhancements made to my particular vehicle in improving safety, they were not able to provide any details regarding this. Would you have something documented explaining the specifics repairs/ improvements/ or component enhancements made for models following after 11/2005 cut off date?.

Passenger restraint system failure, fault light has started showing on my BMW, there has been a recall reported on the same component "statement on voluntary recall involving front passenger seat sensor mat on u. S. A. Model Bmws - August 13, 2008". I have the same problem but my VIN is not showing up in the recall. Dealer says its exactly the same part but I am not covered under recall warranty. This is a hugh safety issue. . .

Tl - the contact owns a 2006 BMW 530xi. The contact stated that the passenger seat air bag sensor was defective indicating the seat was not occupied. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the the front seat sensor mat needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 70,000. Pm.

The airbag sensor in the passenger seat is defective. My car is two months outside the existing recall.

Ref NHTSA campaign number: 08v384000 while my vehicle is the same model year, model and specification listed in the recall, my vehicle's VIN is not "included" in the list of recalled vehicles. I have and am currently experiencing this exact seat sensor mat problem. BMW is unwilling to cover any warranty work as the specific VIN is apparently not affected despite the fact that clearly it is. I am concerned about the safety of the occupants of my vehicle based on the unreliability of this component and feel the recall should be expanded to include all vehicles that experience the same problem.
