My passenger seat belt restraints and airbag warnings light comes on. I saw that this year was included in my model 525I, but BMW of honolulu said my bin shows no recall" I'm confused and upset on how BMW can risk such a safety issue by not including all affected by this especially my year and model class because it's obviously an issue we all are having around the same exact time. Is there a solution or should I give up on BMW for such neglect for my safety and yours"
Was dropping off a passenger and when I parked on a city street.he took his seatbelt off and opened the passenger door. When he got off the seat I noticed two lights come on in the dashboard. Then the notification came up on my menu screen displaying restraint austen malfunction. I've looked up my 2006 BMW 525I to notice it happening to allot of the same year make and model as mine.

While an occupant was seated in the front passenger seat the air bag and seat belt warning indicators illuminated, indicating that the air bags and seat belt were inoperable the dealer diagnosed that the passenger seat detection mat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 300,000. Updated 03/03/17

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.
My BMW 525I has a passenger restraint system warning; fault in passenger restraint system effecting airbag, belt tensioner, or belt force limiter. This has caused the airbag system in the passenger side to be permanently turned off and acknowledges faults in the restraint system. I feel this is extremely unsafe for passengers in my vehicle. A mechanic has told me there is an issue with the occupant detection mat which appears defective. I observed that there has been a recall on a similar issue with the BMW vehicle (recall id 08V38400). I attempted to contact the dealership, North scottsdale BMW and BMW costumer service but both said the recall didnt involve my vehicle even though it included the same make and model with the same issue.
