| Description of the problem | Recall subject: front seat occupant protection mat nhtsa campaign number: 13v564000 component(s): air bags i went to the local bmw shop to have them check why my airbag warning light was on. They checked a list of some sort in their system and they told me that my car (a 2006 bmw 325i) should be recalled and brought in to have the passenger side airbag. They advised me to contact bmw north america regarding a possible recall for my bmw. I contacted bmw of north america llc and they asked me if i was the original owner and i informed them that i was the second owner and had not bought the car from a bmw dealership. They said that is why i had not received a recall notice for my car. They advised me to contact the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) to help obtain a recall notice. Information from a published source states that a consequence of the defect is, should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury. I need and ask for your assistance in obtaining a recall letter from bmw. Thank you, |
