Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2007 BMW 750

Tl the contact owns a 2007 BMW 750li. While operating the vehicle, the air bag sensor remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to vista BMW (744 n. Federal highway, pompano beach, FL) where it was diagnosed that the passenger side mat sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v564000 (air bags), although the failures were similar. The failure mileage was 87,000.

BMW has a recall on the air bag for this year and model but they refuse to honor the recall saying that only certain VIN# were covered. How can that be when mine has failed, should I not be covered since I have a sensor that failed.

Air bag occupancy sensor mat fault illuminated upon initial start of the vehicle in the morning. Took it to the dealer the next day and was diagnosed as having a defective passenger occupancy mat. However, the current recall does not cover it even though its a 2007 because the build date was Feb 2007 and the recall covers build dates of 2005 to sept. 2006. This should be covered under the same recall.
