| Description of the problem | Our vehicle fails to detect passengers and the airbag turns off. We were told by bmw initially that our passengers were too light, however, we understand that this item has been recalled several years ago, because the seat should detect passengers over 90 lbs, i weigh 115 lbs. Anyway, when i called the manufacturer they said our vin was not included in the recall. Nhtsa relies on the manufacturer to include vin's in the recall, however, this is an obvious problem that my vehicle should have been included in the recall which is so well documented. We are the original owners and have not sold the vehicle. *tt |
