| Description of the problem | Air bag seat sensor failure. I would like to add my entry to the long list of bmw 325 owners that should have been covered by the front seat occupant protection mat defect recall (see nhtsa campaign number: 13v564000), but apparently are not. According to bmw, my car was made a month before i. E. Nov 2005, the recall date parameters, which stared in dec 2005. This involves a faulty passenger occupancy sensor malfunction that disables the airbags in 2006 e90 bmw 3 series sedan. Bmw recalled previous years sensors but has not fixed the issue in later models. There are plenty of folks affected by this: see http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/bmw/325/2006/accessories-interior/seats. Shtml ntsb, please address this asap! And thanks! |
