BMW issued a recall 15v-205 safety recall, to cover the airbag sensor in the passenger seat of my vehicle, a 2006 Mini Cooper s. The failure error was in the airbag sensor in the passenger seat, and the system warned of potential hazard with the passenger airbag. My car had a recall fix in 2018 for this fault. Now some 4 years later the same fault has arisen in the same sensor and system. I returned to BMW Mini who carried out the previous recall to have this fixed again. They said that while their repairs and parts generally carry an 8-year warranty, they do not warrant recall repairs. They wanted over $2,000 to fix this issue. As this is a repeat of the original fault, and the car has under 100,000 miles I believe it should be covered, as their repair and or part has again failed. The date below is when I took it for the recall and was refused the warrenty repair.

The airbags light came on for no reason at all. Doing research I found there's a lot of people with the same problem! and apparently Mini USA is not taking responsibility for any of it.
Air bag system diagnosis returned fault code 71. Tech check on srs system found passenger seat occupancy detector fault. Passenger air bag system is disabled as a result. Estimated repair cost is $1200. Internet searches found this is a very common problem with Mini Cooper's and Mini refuses to cover when out of warranty.
Both the passenger seat belt light and the airbag system light illuminate while seat is occupied indicating the system is not operational and may not function in a crash. Internet research reveals many complaints to BMW concerning this problem in the 2006 Mini. Manufacturer dealerships will not diagnose without a large fee.
