| Description of the problem | Air bag sensor on passenger side of 2006 bmw 325i has failed, causing the air bag sensor warning lamp and dash light to stay continuously illuminated. It appears (by a third light above the passenger seat, near the mirror and sun roof controls) that the passenger air bag is disabled. Bmw service center (global imports bmw, atlanta ga) claims no recall has been issued for individual car by checking vin #, but problem matches nhtsa campaign id number: 08v384000. Research online indicates many other bmw owners with 2006 bmw's have experienced similar issues with the air bag sensor and seems were not contacted for the recall. Bmw should extend the warranty to cover all 2006 bmws with this issue. |
