| Description of the problem | When my car reached ~75,000 miles, the passenger restraint system malfunction notification started to appear on the center console. The message seems to convey that the airbags will not deploy in an accident. After speaking with bmw and finding out that my car falls under the recall for this exact situation. Bmw refused to fix it and states that my vin is not listed under the recall, even though the recall states that it affects 2006 3-series with sport seats (which is exactly what i have). |
