| Description of the problem | To whom it may concern, my passenger airbag sensor light and passenger seat belt light came on unexpectedly while driving. After doing a bit of research on the internet i found that there was a similar issue others were having with the same model car 2006 bmw 325i sedan e90 series and there is an ongoing recall 08v384000. So i decided to contact my local bmw dealership to see if my car was covered in the recall they said no and quoted me a price of well over 1400 dollars to fix. I have since found out that in the event of a collision that my passenger airbag will not deploy. After, further research i feel that my model is also an affected in this recall (08v384000). I hope that this submission will not fall on deaf ears. I am doing this for all the others like me affected by this issue and demand service to fix a known safety issue for us and for our passengers.
