| Description of the problem | My bmw 2006 330i has a defect in the passenger air bag. Whether someone is in the passenger seat or not, the passenger air bag light turns on indicating that the air bag is turned off. There was a recall on 2006 bmw 3 series (and other series) for this exact problem, but bmw states that my particular vehicle is not covered. It is the exact same problem that the recall was for, so i do not understand how it was not included in the recall of 2007/2008. *js |
