Air Bag Light On Problems of BMW X5 - part 2

The front passenger air bag sensor went on at 44k and remains illuminated at all times and for no apparent reason. I took the vehicle to an independent repair shop and was informed that the air bag sensor was defective. Called the BMW site who indicated that there were no recalls for this issue. Contacted NHTSA website and informed that recall was in place (ea08001 BMW of north America, llc 01/04/2008 12/31/2008 BMW airbag light illumination 08v384000) dealer stated they would not honor this due to the manufacture date of my vehicle which fits every other criteria (e. G. , year, make and model. ) not the BMW I am used to.

The passenger air bag light is on all the time. I took it into my BMW dealership and they said the sensor mat in the seat faulted and needs to be replaced. They originally said it was covered under a warranty extension for this specific problem. Later they said my vehicle was made too late to be included in the voluntary warranty extension. If this is the same problem that keeps occurring in Bmws and obviously affects the safety of the vehicle and is the subject of a NHTSA investigation, why is my vehicle not covered. It would appear BMW did not fix its problems with its passenger airbag system. Why isn't the NHTSA still investigating this problem.
