Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2006 bmw 325i front passenger sport seat was diagnosed by dealer to have a cracked front seat sensor mat of the air bag protection system. This defect causes the front passenger air bags to be deactivated & the air bag warning lamp to illuminate. This situation could cause the front passenger air bag to be deactivated & not deploy in an emergency. Therefore not protecting the passenger. This defect is a known defect & is covered by the nhtsha campaign #: 08v384000. Bmw stated that my vin # [xxx] was not part of the 200,000+ vehicles recalled. Certified mechanics verified the details of the recall & the faults shown on the diagnostic check of the air bag protection system to be the same. I am asking that nhtsa issue a letter directing that my vehicle vin be included in the recall so that the system can be restored & the warranty be extended as directed in the bmw recall of 2006 3 series sport seats. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
