BMW issued important safety recall 13v-564, which involves the front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat, January 2014. Important safety recall 13v-564 along with an illuminated air bag warning light, which my vehicle is displaying, effectively DE-activates the passenger airbag causing an unsafe condition. January 2014 the important safety recall letter stated parts would be available for repairs March 2014. March 2014 the dealer inspected the vehicle but was unable to complete the repairs due to parts being unavailable. June 2014 BMW notified me that parts were available and to schedule repairs with the dealer. The dealer inspected the vehicle but was unable to complete the repairs due to parts being unavailable.

The passenger side air bag off warning light came on and stays on. The dealer reset the computer. Light went off. The failure recurred again in a few months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor needed to be replaced. I was informed that my VIN did not meet the recall for replacing the failed mat sensor although other 2006 BMW X5s were recalled for that same failure. The warning light is presently on. I have read of many examples of the same problem. The aging mat become brittle and cracks breaking the circuit. BMW needs to send me a letter and replace my passenger seat mat sensor for free before I have an accident and the passenger is injured.
Re campaign no. 13v-564 front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat; recall parts promised to vehicle owners for delivery March 2014; then may 2014; no parts to date. Contacted BMW local dealer and did not receive satisfaction from service manager. Front passenger seat still high risk due to air bag warning light indicating air bag deactivated. Wish to file complaint against BMW for not delivering parts to dealer and vehicle owner as promised.
