The passenger seat occupancy mat sensor has failed and it has triggered the seat belt and airbag light sensor for my BMW. BMW says it is not under recall, but they have recalled the 2006 BMW e60 (mine is a 2007) for the same problem.
The airbag light and the seatbelt light came on, this is a safety issue so I don't know if the car of that year had a recall or not . . It was city street.
