| Description of the problem | the air bag light came on and i called bmw customer relations. They told me to take it to a bmw dealer to have the front seat occupant protection mat replaced under an extended warranty (nhtsa campaign number 13v564000). The bmw dealer in scottsdale said it isn't listed as a recall item and they want $180 just to perform a check to see if there is a problem, which is ridiculous there should be no fee at all to fix such an important safety item (airbag). |
