1 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2010

I am a military member stationed in ramstein germany from Jan 2001 - June 2005. In may 2005, I purchase a us-spec 2004 BMW x-3 from an authorized BMW dealer on base. I shipped my vehicle back to the states in July 2006. Recently, I noticed that my air bag warning lamp and passenger on-off lamp are illuminated--problem is identical to the recall summary 08v384000 in this website. However, when I called BMW, they said that my VIN is not included in the recall lists. Can you help me get my vehicle fixed under this recall program? my VIN # is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
