Occupancy seat sensor is malfunctioning. The part to fix the item is $1,500 including labor. The part is out of stock. So this is happening to many BMW. Approval to replace has been granted on other BMW models. Why isn't mine covered? the sensor is always on even if no one is in the seat.

To whom it may concern: The front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat has failed on my vehicle. This means the passenger side airbag is not active. It has been recalled in the past by BMW multiple times, 17V605 and 17V428, but my vehicle was not included. However, this appears to still be an issue.

Warning light on dash that reads "fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, tensioner or belt-force limiter." BMW dealer (roadshow BMW / memphis) did replace belt tensioner at a cost to me but the error code remains. The passenger seat mat could cause this problem. Has there been a recall on the passenger seat mat? I feel that this is a safety issue dealing with airbags and seatbelts. The BMW dealer in jackson, ms did replace the driver and passenger airbag under a recall but I am still concerned about the safety due to the "system malfunction...fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag" warning light on dashboard. This warning message and seatbelt warning light remains when car is in motion. I bought the car on March 17, 2015 (33,000 miles) from my sister who bought the car new from the BMW dealer in nashville, tn. The error message was on the dash at that time. The car now has approx 64,000 miles.
