Description of the problem	I am writing to you to address a current nhtsa safety recall affecting my vehicle (and presumably many similar vehicles). I currently own a 06 bmw 325i 4dr and have recently experienced a front passenger seat detection mat malfunction. This sensor malfunction affects the deployment of the front passenger seat airbag in the event of a collision. The error codes my vehicle is displaying are the same as those addressed in the nhtsa safety recall campaign number 13v564000, dated 13 nov 2013. The nhtsa recall indicated bmw is recalling 06-07 3-series equipped with seat types that may produce similar errors due to cracking that develops with age. This cracking is true in my vehicle and has been verified by local mechanics. In dec 2013, i consulted my local bmw dealership to determine if my vehicle was covered under the nhtsa safety recall. I was informed by the dealer that my vehicle was not covered under any current recalls and included no extended warranties. I informed the dealer that an nhtsa safety recall currently addresses my vehicle's problems; however, it did not seem to be their problem. In jan 2014, i contacted bmw na to address the same issue. I was informed that an nhtsa recall did affect current 06 325i vehicles, however, their recall only affects owners of vehicles with "sport" seats. They informed me while, my vehicle is experiencing similar issues, bmw na did not plan to recall non-sport seat sensors. Frankly, i find it ridiculous that other vehicles with the same year, make, and model are experiencing the exact same malfunctions and errors as my vehicle. In the end, my front passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision for the same malfunctioning seat sensor, yet, bmw has turned a blind eye to myself and i presume a large number of owners with this same problem.

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.
