Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2006 BMW 550

There is a recall involving the front passenger seat sensor mat, which cause the airbag not to work in some models. Nhtsa campaign id number: 08v384000 however, since my vehicle's prod. Date was 01/2006 it is not covered. There is many vehicles up to 2007 I've heard, with the same issue. It would be fair to revisit the recall and do the needed changes in order to cover these vehicles. It is not safe to drive around with a front airbag not working. And unfair that because of three months difference in the production dates, someone has to pay anywhere around $1800 out of pocket for the same issue that other owners are getting fixed free of charge.

2006 - BMW e60 550i - front passenger seat air bag sensor defective.
