Description of the problem	While driving with my family over the weekend, i noticed the passenger air bag and seat belt light illuminate on the dash. The idrive stated there was a malfunction in the pass air bag. I took my car to the nearest dealer the next morning after finding that this is an ongoing/ common issue with the 5 series. But what i don't get is why is my vehicles vin not included?? It's obvious this is a defect with the production of these vehicles so why should myself or any other owner be responsible for this expensive repair? Why are there only certain vehicles included? Then i find out that if i'm in a crash, my passenger will not be protected!! This is not fair to owners and bmw should be held fully responsible. Another thing i don't understand is that i have a recall on the battery cables and that's covered! I read online that certain vehicles depending on the production date (thru 11/2005) are covered under the airbag recall. Well my bmw was manufactured in 11/2004! Again, i don't understand why my vin isn't covered. Not fair!! Please help.....
