2006 BMW 530XI Air bags Problems

“When my front passenger seat is occupied, during startup the car chimes with an error pass restraint system fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter continue to wear the safety belt (vehicle was stationary) Bmw has issued a recall for this problem but oddly my VIN is not part of the group included.”

“While driving on a straightaway on the expressway with a passenger who was adjusting the seat, we heard a loud bang like a rock hitting the glass, but the noise was in the car and seemed to come from under the passenger seat. Almost immediately, my dashboard light suddenly indicated that my passenger air bag has malfunctioned.”

“My front passenger seat airbag fault light went on. Thr dealer , Bmw of charlottesville replaced the faulty passebger seat occupancy detection mat at a cost of $867.05. I have received a recall notice from you and yet my VIN number does not show up. Can you explain this to me? It looks like I should be coverd given the model year and given that my car clearly had the defect. It appears my vehicle should be covered and thst Bmw should reimburde me.”

“A message stating a passenger restraint malfunction keeps coming on. Did some research and it said there is a recall for my vehicle. After calling the dealing and giving him my VIN# he told me it was not covered. This seems to be a serious oversight by Bmw and needs to be addressed.”

“The car suffered a failure of the front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat . A recall(13v-564:) was issued for this model beginning with car manufactured after dec 1, 2005. My car was manufactured before this date, on 9/3/200, and therefore was not included in the recall. The issue I am having is the exact issue in the recall. Have any other owners of pre-dec 1, 2005, manufacture cars reported similar issues? Other recalls of the same issue are 17v-428 and 08v-384”
