Description of the problem	I am the 2nd owner of my 2006 bmw 3 series. I've driven it for about 4 months and one day i go to start my car to go to work and i noticed that the air bag indicator came on and it says passenger restraint malfunction. I have no idea why or what caused this!? I don't mess with my car, it just randomly did it once i tried to start it. *i've done some research and i seen an article from nbc news that says "bmw ag said wednesday it was recalling 200,000 vehicles over concerns that the front passenger air bag may not deploy in a crash." now that really concerns me! I need to get this fixed as soon as possible. Please help!
