| Description of the problem | Front passenger seat has a faulty seat mat sensor which causes the airbag to be disengaged. The fault has been verified by a mechanic and there is a recall notice for the same year/model of car but it is not specific to my vin number. Bmw usa and dealer have been notified but will provide no assistance in repairing the defect without normal compensation unless the vin numbers are extended. Clearly this is an issue on other vins within the same manufacturing models and years of my car based on the nhtsa campaign number: 13v564000 recall notice. |
