Description of the problem	I have a 2006 bmw 330xi with sport seats. The passenger side airbag is inoperative due to a defective mat detector located inside the passenger seat. There is a recall out for this same problem on the same car but the dealer told me my car does not apply even though he hadn't seen the car or knew the vin number. This is an active life threatening situation and i see numerous complaints about this issue here and at other safety related websites. Its hard to imagine that the nhtsa is letting bmw get away with this. I worked for bmw many years ago and their policy at the time was to deny fixing certain issues because if they fixed all of them, then it would become policy and become expensive and a blemish on their recall record. Shame on bmw... Reminds me of the pinto safety policy.
