2006 BMW 330I Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	950735
Internal NHTSA #	10484515
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	330I
Model Year	2006
File date	16/03/11
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My passenger airbag sensor light went off, and after running $125. 00 worth of diagnostics, bmw determined that my front passenger seat occupant detection mat, has failed and it would cost $987. 00 to repair. After looking online i found that there was a recall on this part for 2006 3 series, however for some reason my vin number was not included in the recall. I have the exact same part number installed in my car as the recalled part number, however by some glitch, my car is not covered since it is vin specific, and not year/model specific. This is incredibly disheartening, and my passenger's safety are in jeopardy due to a vin# loophole. I looked online and there is a flood of people with the same issue on the same vehicle, not covered due to a crafty loophole.
