Passenger airbag warning lights on/off for about a year. Currently the car has 60,000 miles. When I mentioned to dealer, (car in for emission recall), I was informed that the occupancy detection mat was faulty and needed to be replaced ($1821. 04). If not replaced, vehicle would not pass mass state inspection. Had the work done at BMW dealer to have it replaced, as the car is due soon for an inspection sticker.
Passenger restraint system malfunction warning appears mostly when no one is in the seat.
Intermittent warning message displaying passenger restraint system malfunction. Service adviser stated this is common on X3s. Exact issue was defective passenger seat occupancy mat (cost $1380). Common defects should be covered under a recall, but no recall exists for this issue.
Steering drives off the road tires blew. Airbags recall.
