Description of the problem	The passenger seat pad is defective in my 2006 bmw 325i. It has been diagnosed by the dealer as defective. In december of 2013 bmw recalled 76k of these pads for my make/model/year, but excluded my vin as a result of a nhtsa investigation. I am requesting an explanation of how bmw was allowed to exclude my vin when the recall is obviously more widespread. Please check your records for a copy of the december 2013 recall or reference the below link: recall subject : front seat occupant protection mat report receipt date: nov 12, 2013 nhtsa campaign number: 13v564000 component(s): air bags potential number of units affected: 76,565 manufacturer: bmw of north america, llc summary: bmw of north america llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, model year 2007 328i, 328xi, 335i, 335xi sedans and 328i and 328xi sports wagons, model year 2006-2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i sedans and 530xi sports wagons, model year 2006 760i sedans, model year 2006-2007 750i, 750li, and 760li sedans, and model year 2006 x5 sports activity vehicles, equipped with certain seat types. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure. Consequence: should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury. Remedy: bmw will notify owners with an interim notification letter in january 2014 since parts are not currently available. When parts are available, anticipated to be in march 2014, bmw will send a second letter and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. *js
