| Description of the problem | I have a passenger restraint system malfunction problem. I went to bmw dealership last week. But they told me my car is not on campaign so i have to fix out of my pocket. However, as i found on the recall list like below vehicle make / model: model year(s): bmw / 3 series 2006 bmw / 5 series 2004-2006 bmw / x3 2004-2006 summary: bmw is recalling 200,000 my 2006 3 series sport seat, my 2004-2006 5 series standard and sport seat, and my 2004-2006 x3 passenger vehicles. Depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit, small cracks have developed in the mat. If this occurs, the front passenger air bags, with the exception of the head protection system, will be deactivated and the air bag warning lamp as well as the passenger air bag "on-off" lamp will be illuminated. My point is what is different my car series and above 3 series why my car is not belong to under warranty. It is exactly the same issue. I do not understand why my car can't fix at dealership under warranty. If there is exception cars, i think it should clearly statement that is why or exception reason even same model. It is so inconvenience. This information is so confusing for vehicle owner. I really want to listen why my car is not on the campaign and i want to figure it out. |
