Recall 17v-xxx front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat b65 10 17. Last July 2017 my passenger seat airbag/seatbelt warning light was on and cause was faulty passenger seat occupancy detection mat. . It was replaced at the charlottesville BMW dealer on July 18 2017 for $867. 05. Yet this 2006 model is specifically the model with the defect and in the recall. My VIN is not showing that I am eligible for a recall, I do not understand this, as obviously it should have been covered, since this is the specific defect for which the recall has been issued, and this is the specific year and mode BMW which has the defect appearing. Please advise.

A passenger airbag warning light has been on in my wife's 2006 BMW 530i for the past year. Despite the NHTSA recall campaign (action number ea08001 and pe07045), BMW says this car is not covered by the recall and will not fix the problem. I also have a 2006 BMW 530i with the same airbag warning light on. BMW will fix my problem. It seems that my car has "comfort seats" while my wife's car has "sports seats. " obviously, the defective part is present on both vehicles as well as on the other BMW models and years identified in your recall campaign. Why did your recall stop short of fixing all problems?.
Passenger airbag sensor. Warning light system failure.
While driving alone the airbag warning light came on and the airbag light above the passenger seat went off indicating the airbag was on, but no one was riding with me. Also, the seatbelt light came on and the alarm sounded but no one was sitting in the seat. After picking up a friend, the passenger airbag lights were gone until I had drove about 15 minutes and then the airbag warning lights began to act up again. I called BMW and was told that my vehicle was not included in the airbag recall and I could get the repairs done and save my BMW dealer receipts in case one day it would be covered. I couldn't afford the $1200 so my car has not been fixed yet.

Ongoing problems with passenger airbag and seatbelt warning lights illuminating. When lit, those systems are deactivated. BMW dealer replaced oc3 mat [recall] apparently twice. Problem recoccurred. Dealer replaced positive battery cable [recall]. Pass airbag and seatbelts have illuminated multiple times since. Dealer blamed low battery voltage, wanted to sell me a battery. I refused. They tested with a "good" battery. Dealer now states sgm module is defective due to code 93f9. If that is true I believe the sgm has been damaged due to problems with oc3 mat and battery cable causing fluctuating voltage and damage to sgm, probably the capacitor that stores electricity. If you search online for 93f9 fault code you will see it is a common problem with BMW.
