Takata air bags my air bag light keeps coming on, my car is effected by the recall but when I run the VIN # it's not showing up. It's a safety problem and I'm afraid the air bags will deploy while driving.

My airbag warning light is on. The bmw dealership will not provide me any information as to the maker of the airbag other than telling me it's not one of the recalled tanaka airbags. Many other bmw models of the same year have been recalled for defective tanaka airbags, so I'm not reassured by their response . A friend with same year, make and model of bmw suffered permanent eye damage when his airbag deployed unexpectedly in slow moving collision. I am afraid of the same consequences. Bmw, as well as other manufacturers, should be able to provide customers proof that a tanaka, or similar defective airbag, was not used.

The air bag light / occupant detect sensor needed to be replaced because it was defective. I paid over $1000 to repair. My mechanic told me there is a safety recall of the air bag frontal sensor control module for my vehicle year, make and model. I never received the recall notice and bmw claims the recall is VIN specific. This seems unsafe and unfair as this is the very problem that I repaired. I have traveled thousands of miles transporting my family in the front passenger seat without knowing that they were not protected by the air bags.
