1 Front Air Bag problem of the 2004 BMW 530

Failure Date: 07/04/2012

The front passenger air bags is deactivated and the air bag warning lamp as well as the passenger air bag "on-off" lamp is illuminated. This issue is the same as the 2004 BMW 5 series frontal airbag recall ( #08v384000), but for some reason when I contacted BMW at 1-800-525-7417 and provided them my VIN number they said it wasn't covered under the recall. Please review and reconsider as this is a serious defect that needs to be addressed.

3 Front Air Bag problem of the 2004 BMW 530

Failure Date: 01/15/2010

The passenger air bag and seat belt lights were lit on my 2004 BMW 530i. This is the same symptom as described in the recall campaign number 08v384000 / NHTSA action number ea08001. I have never received a recall letter from BMW. I learned about the recall in Feb / 2010 and took the car to BMW dealer. I was told my car is not covered by the recall and I was charged for labor to replace the passenger seat occupancy detector mat (part # 52-10-9-142-348). I believe my car should be included in the BMW recall campaign.

4 Front Air Bag problem of the 2007 BMW 530

Failure Date: 01/09/2007

2007 BMW 530 I . The light indicating the front passenger air bag is not working seems to be unfixable. BMW will not give me any assurance that the problem is not of any danger and actually told me not to drive it if I feel it is unsafe. It has been repaired five times yet the light continues to come on.
