Dreaded Airbag recall light
Damn, my car came up with the dreaded airbag light , I have to call BMW and see what they tell me if this falls under their airbag recall , I have a 2006 325xi sedan at a little over 100k.
Feel free to post comments if anyone has had this issue after warranty and if it was fixed by BMW under the recall list.

Aside from a recall, there may be a special extended warranty. BMW does that quite frequently for common problems. If it's a special warranty, it won't be on the recall list. You'll have to dig around and find the SIB that explains the warranty eligibility, or ask your dealer. But the dealer may tell you they have to diagnose it first before they will know if it falls under a special warranty.
I know they've had extended warranty on airbag components for some models, but I'm not sure if they did on yours. |

There was a recall for the passenger mat sensor on some models. On others it was just an extended warranty.

If it's under an extended warranty rather than recall, you may be able to see it by entering VIN in http://www.bmw-rp.com/production/isg...bmw_portal.nsf |

The strangest thing was when I took it to the dealer, they checked it out, and the service advisor came out and said, "sorry we can't warranty the repair," handed me my keys, and walked away. After standing dumbfounded for a moment I left. He didn't even give me an opportunity to pay for a repair. So I didn't feel like I had any other choice but to drive around with a non-working airbag. But I soon sold the car anyway. |

Your right, I found a letter that BMW sent me from 2014 for the "extended warranty" for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) from "passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor (OC3) mat". Does anyone know if the malfunction indicator is supposed to be the the one that shows up that is warrantied ??

My E90 has the issue with the passenger mat; steering wheel airbag is fine. Kodak check the codes - I highly suspect your issue is the passenger mat and not the steering wheel airbag. That I'm aware of, the steering wheel airbag recall only impacted the E9x that came with the sport steering wheel. Last edited by terryd5150; 03-01-2017 at 08:56 PM.. |
