The front passenger seat occupant detection light is on due to the mat cushion failure. This is very common on BMW and most of them have a recall issued, but not for my 2007. Please advise as the dealership wants $1800 for a new one. Passenger airbag will not work unless replaced
The passenger seat occupancy mat sensor has failed and it has triggered the seat belt and airbag light sensor for my BMW. BMW says it is not under recall, but they have recalled the 2006 BMW E60 (mine is a 2007) for the same problem.
I received a recall notice from BMW - no. 13V-564 I have gone to two dealerships, including the one where I bought the car brand new and they will not complete the repairs due to a replacement part on hold notice from BMW. They also will not tell me when they can complete the repair. I called BMW and received no help at all, just to try another dealer.
The contact owns a 2007 BMW 530I. The contact stated that the occupant restraint system warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the driver seat felt as if the latches were loose. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The passenger restraint airbag/seat belt warning light show up because the mat sensor under passenage seat is broken by normal use. BMW refuse to honor the free fix for this issue and wanted to charge around $1300 for the repair the safty issue.
