| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2006 bmw 330i with my wife in front passenger seat and the passenger air bag is off light came on. The car was on a straight road and the speed was at 45 mph. Called bmw but they told me my vehicle was not part of the recall. And was told to take my bmw to the dealership at my expense. Safety recalls should be the responsibility of the manufacturer. This worries me because my wife drives a 2006 bmw z4. I think this recall should be expanded to more vehicles. Please investigate. |
