| Description of the problem | I own a bmw 3 series 2007 that i purchased 3 years ago with a dealer. Six weeks ago a dash board light came on with a message "pass restraint system malfunction". A detailed message says "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear the safety belt. Have the system checked by the nearest bmw center". I have searched this online and it seems bmw 3 and 5 series cards manufactured in 2003 - 2008 have this issue. It is a safety related issue that bmw should recall and fix immediately. |
