I am the original owner of a 2006 BMW X5, VIN: 5uxfa13506ly39768. In the early years of ownership the passenger seat occupancy detection mat was faulty and was replaced. This August the airbag light on the instrument display wenr on again and as a result my vehicle failed the massachusetts state inspection safety inspection. In September of this year I brought my X5 to BMW to have BMW review the airbag issue . The technicians at BMW diagnosed the problem as a failing passenger seat occupancy mat. The total cost to me for replacement of the failed passenger seat occupancy mat was $1,460. 89 + MA sales tax of $39. 15. I recently found that on 11/18/2013 BMW issued a recall relating the front passenger seat occupant detection mat. The recall campaign for the X5 passenger seat occupancy detection mat is identified as #13v564000 I never received notification of this safety recall in January of 2014. I called BMW this morning to explain my issue and they advised that the NHTSA did not include the VIN of my vehicle in the recall and therefore they would not reimburse me. My response was that perhaps the replacement passenger seat occupancy mat that failed many years ago that BMW installed as a replacement when my vehicle was under warranty was in fact a part that would have been included in the recent recall. They told me that I had a very good point, and that may be the case, but I would have to write to NHTSA to request that my vehicle be included in the recall, otherwise they would not reimburse me. Since the passenger side occupancy mat has failed twice in this vehicle it is quite obvious to me that there is an issue with this part in my vehicle. It is an integral part of the safety system of my vehicle and with this e-mail request the consideration and assistance of NHTSA in connection with this matter.

I had already submitted a complaint under 10586821 due to the radiator but did not include that the mechanic said that the reason that radiator went out was because of the malfunction of the water pump which I also had to replace. I was told to amend the complaint once received but I never received anything in the mail. BMW knows that there is a problem and refuses to fix it. Also the passenger airbag indicator has been on for over a year. I was told that I would have to remove and have the airbags and sensors replace. What is the purpose of having something that is suppose to be for safety but it's malfunctioning. Therefore I have airbags that are not going to protect anyone in the course of an accident. This is also a common problem with BMW. This is not an age of car item because I had less than 40,000 miles when the indicator came on.
