Model Year	2006
File date	06/06/11

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Front passenger safety sensor (oc3 seat mat) had premature failure while driving with passenger. Failure results in dash warning lights illumination as well disablement of passenger air bag. Air bag disablement could have resulted in fatality, system should force the air bag on if sensor fails. Related recall is in affect for similar year models but bmwna believes this is an unrelated because the seat types are different (sport seat vs. Standard seat). Bmw (along with sub component supplier) should fix this problem by extending compensation to all of those who had to voluntarily replace faulty sensors and recalling 2006 330i sport seat owners as well. Safety systems should not fail within the first 40,000 miles of automobile's life. Will provide failed hardware upon request to bmw or nhtsa.
