Description of the problem	I purchased this bmw new from the dealer around june 2006 (please note the mileage is an estimate) i'm writing to request an investigation into my car relating to the a potential faulty passenger airbag sensor. The passenger indicator light for "passenger airbag off" is activated despite a passenger being in the car. Over the years, the light randomly activated when a passenger sat in the seat. However, it would turn off at times so i presumed i had hit a button on the car steering column for a children's seat which caused the light to activate or something else perhaps. Because i rarely had passengers, i didn't pay attention. The light would did not stay lit for months on end. However, now the "passenger airbag off" light remains activated all the time which caused me to investigate. This is not normal wear and tear. I see there is a recall for 2006 3 series bmw models and more for this problem. Specifically, my car is a 2006 330i bmw with sport seats. I have called the bmw dealer, and bmw north america, but they only check the vin database and to date have not investigated further. However, i have alerted them that it appears bmw may have failed to recall a number of affected vehicles given the many complaints i reviewed posted on the web by 2006 bmw 330i owners who have the same problem with their vehicles airbag deactivating, but received no assistance from bmw. One owner stated he had (at his own expense) replaced the (defective) installation/part, (the part he removed was the same one as the one under recall by bmw), but bmw like with the other 2006 330i owners will not bear the replacement cost because his vin was not included on the list. Please assist with identifying the additional 2006 330i bmws that were affected by what seemingly is a defective design/component. Thank you, see nhtsa action number: ea08001.
