Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2005 BMW X3

I took my vehicle for an oil change and other minor services and the mechanic advised "srs light on for passenger seat occupancy sensor". The passenger air bag on-off lamp and the air bag warning lamp have both been illuminated simutaneously for several months. I called BMW customer relations and was advised that my vehicle does not fall under the current front seat occupant protection mat recall.

Air bags in BMW X3 manufacture date Sep 2005. My vehicle is fully loaded and the airbag sensor is defective in the passenger seat according to BMW tests ran on the truck. This is the same issue identified in NHTSA campaign number 08v384000, however BMW will not rework the sensor issue. They are telling me that I have to pay over 1100 euro, as I am station in germany and purchased the vehicle through military car sales. Since it is the exact issue found in the same year and model of the recalled vehicles this should be considered and repaired. Yet BMW states that my vehicle was not I=one of the over 200000 which was included in the recall. How am I to determine if my VIN number was affected. My vehicle was produced during the same time frame and it was special ordered. Please assist if possible.

I own a BMW X3 that has the front air bag mat sensor problem that has been noted worldwide BMW recall. The problem is that they have not noted the X3 with sport seats being part of the recall, although all other models with the same seat has been noted. I just had my X3 serviced, and also ask them to repair the seat mat that has failed, but the dealer stated that this seat was not listed, but did have the common failure that has brought forward the recall. I am asking that NHTSA notify BMW and insist that they have left out the X3 with sport seats.
