When my front passenger seat is occupied, during startup the car chimes with an error "pass restraint system" "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter" "continue to wear the safety belt" (vehicle was stationary) BMW has issued a recall for this problem but oddly my VIN is not part of the group included.
The contact owns a 2007 BMW 530i. The contact stated that the occupant restraint system warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the driver seat felt as if the latches were loose. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I have a 2006 BMW 530i (make: 03/05). Two days back, while I was driving home from work (highway), suddenly the message, "passenger restraint malfunction" came up and when I researched about this, I found that there is a recall for the 2006 BMW 530i's for this issue (recall subject : front seat occupant protection mat, NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000) . But, when I emailed BMW regarding the issue, they said my VIN is not included in the recall list. I am not sure why all the cars are not included when they are made in same year and same model. I am attaching the screenshot of the email that BMW customer care has sent me and also of the error message in the car. This has become a safety issue for my car now. So, could you please look into this issue and resolve this for me. Thank you in advance.
While I was driving, I received an error message onmy computer display. The error message read: "passenger seat restraint malfunction", then a picture of my passenger seat airbag deployed with a line through it. I called BMW( mckenna, norwalk, CA) on 07/02/2013 and they stated per my VIN number this is not a recall part, yet maybe for some vehicles it was.
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?.
