Description of the problem	I've lately been experiencing an issue with my vehicle where when a passenger sits in the front passenger seat, two icons on my dash come on indicating that safety features are disabled; i get an airbag disable icon in the dash along with the roof lining of my vehicle near the sos button, a text that reads, "passenger air bag disabled" and is illuminated, indicating that the passenger airbag is disabled. Also a 'seat belt' icon shows in the dashboard despite it being clicked in. Nhtsa action number: ea08001 thankfully due to nhtsa, the manufacturer, bmwna, was forced to recall a total of 200,000 vehicles with this exact same issue. According to the nhtsa listing, my vehicle is covered under a mass recall of the 'sensor mat' located in the passenger seat of various bmw models to detect when a passenger is sitting on the seat which then triggers the sensor to ready the airbag in the event of an accident. My model 2006 bmw 325i (with sports and premium package) is mentioned in the vehicle list, both by manufacturer make (bmw), model (3-series/ 325i), and specifically the type of seat, being sports package. I have taken my vehicle to the bmw dealership where i purchased it from to get the issue looked at as the safety of myself and my passengers was a prime consideration when purchasing the vehicle in the first place. I was informed by the service advisor that my vehicle was not covered and that i should pay out of pocket or contact bmwna. I've contacted them and they denied me coverage explaining my vehicle does not fall under the recall. I firmly believe that i am being asked to pay exorbitant repair fees to fix basic safety systems despite that my car should fall under the recall as it is experiencing the exact same issues. My car is 'babied' and to be experiencing a failure of safety systems is extremely nerve-wracking. Thank you for your time.
