2006 BMW 3 SERIES Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	909835
Internal NHTSA #	10450302
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	3 SERIES
Model Year	2006
File date	01/02/10
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The oc3 mat (passenger occupancy sensor mat) has failed. This issue, as described in more detail below (4.), involves the front passenger seat occupant detection mat of certain bmw vehicles, and has been the subject of nhtsa pe07-045 and ea08-001. In short, a fatigue failure of the mat can occur and would consequently lead to the deactivation of the front passenger air bags with exception of the head protection system. The air bag warning lamp as well as the passenger air bag "on-off" lamp would illuminate in such case. Bmw states that my vehicle does not fall under this recall since it was produced after 11/2005. Yet, the prognosis of the failure is exactly the same as of the recall.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
