Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The airbag indicator light has been activated to what i have read to be due to a crack in the detection mat. I have taken my car to repair shops and all have confirmed the same issue. In the case that there is an accident, none of the airbags will be deployed, or airbags may be deployed without reason. I have grave concerns. I have made two phone calls to bmw with my concern for my safety and the safety of my passengers. Bmw states that currently my particular vin number is not listed on the recalls, but may be in the future. My car has the exact same issues as being reported as the previous two recalls, but since it was manufactured "just before the indicated recall dates" that i will not be reimbursed. If bmw cares about their customers' safety, i would not think waiting by the mailbox for a letter that may or may not arrive to inform me of another letter in march, is at all sufficient. Please let me know if i can do anything else to expedite a solution for my concern. Thank you for your time. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
