“Passenger restraint system failure fault light has started showing on my Bmw. There has been a recall reported on the same component statement on voluntary recall involving front passenger seat sensor mat on u.s.a. Model bmws - august 13, 2008 . It is NHTSA recall campaign number: 08v384000. I have the same problem so I called Bmw and they stated that my car is not part of the recall. I do not understand how my car is having the exact same problem but is not part of the recall? This is a huge safety issue. …”
