2006 bmw 330i was not subject to recall and warranty repair of the occupant classification system (ocs for the passenger font airbag (si b 72 o2 06). Currently I have a airbag warning light indicating that the passenger airbag is not operating. The code suggests a faulty mat sensor. Other bmw's of the same model and year were subject to the recall. The bmw 330i was not included and should be. Reading on the e90 message board: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?s=30bdacfbe250258ed6528ec55b5bb6a7&t=358892 confirms that this problem exists with the 330i model as well.
Air bag warning and seat belt warning lights come on and stay on. Lights have come on and stayed on each occurrence. Have taken vechicle to dealer and shop to have light reset at least 6 times, only to have both warning lights come on again.

Since 2014 I have had to replace 3 oem rims for cracking. This has caused me much inconvenience and time and money to replace not only the rims but at times the tire itself. Bmw's failure to disclose the fact that the bmw rtf alloy wheels prematurely crack is especially egregious in light of the safety hazard resulting from driving with a cracked wheel, due to the loss of tire pressure that typically ensues. Moreover, the possibility of a loss in tire pressure while driving the subject vehicles would be a material fact to a reasonable consumer. A case was awarded for the z car model in the us and another for my model using this similar argument about the rims in the u.k. But bmw refuses to entertain it the bmw alloy wheels are subject to cracking under normal driving conditions, creating a safety hazard and necessitating replacement or repair of the wheel and sometimes the tire, at substantial cost to the consumer. Most recently, and most alarming, I received a "fault in passenger-restraint system affecting my airbag" when I started my car up two-weeks ago. I have done plenty of research and found that a bmw safety recall was made on the exact year and model (2006 bmw 330i), but my VIN is not covered because it did not come with the specific sport seats, it was called under. I do not understand if so many individuals in bmw forums are having this same issue without having the "sport seats" but we share the same model, make and year as the one the federal safety agency originally got recalled recalled, why my VIN is not covered. This is a huge liability on bmws end and no coincidence. Should I get in an accident with a passenger, the airbag will not deploy. Please help!!! Http://www.nbcnews.com/id/26179745/

I got home from an outting with friends and "passenger restraint systems malfunction" appeared on my screen. Did alittle research, my passenger seat airbag will either deploy metal shards or not deploy at all incase of an accident. Or the seatbelt will not properly engage. The dealership says they are "VIN specific" and can only do my driver side. But everybody seems to only have the passenger side problem. They have the sensor in stock that can save a life, but they don't want to do the job just because my "VIN" does not match for the recall in their computers!
I had both air bags replaced under the takata recall and now I'm getting a "passenger restraint system malfunction" error on my display. There is an open recall the federal safety agency campaign id number: 08v384000 that is for the same issue and for my model and year but the VIN is not showing that recall. The error happened just when the car was started and it shows whether someone is sitting in the passenger with the seatbelt on or if the seat is empty. I am worried that the airbag won't deploy in the case of an emergency. Please let me know if this would be included in the recall as well for a safety issue. I've called bmw and was told this would not be covered either.
Passenger seat airbag sensor toggles between active and inactive regardless of weight, or presence of an individual on the seat... With a passenger on it, it will also toggle between active/inactive regardless of the weight of the person (even an adult passenger will disable passenger airbag).. Seems to be historical evidence of this failure and yet recall is not active. There is no certainty at this moment if airbag will be operational in a crash.
"takata recall" bmw taking too long to correct the air bag recall issue. Since march 2016 I've lost the ability use the car due to defective takata airbag inflator and the potential to cause death due to air bag deployment. The car is now in pno status. Bmw should be held responsible for any towing fees , to have the car towed to their facilities to correct air bag inflator.

This bmw had a recall, we bought this car from a dealer ship march 2016, seatbelt and air bag light just came on. Bmw should check this out at no cost and the recall should not be closed or there should be an exception when you buy a used bmw. It's a hazard if the air bag does not deploy or the seatbelt does not work

Takata recall. This is taking way too long to resolve for affected bmw vehicles.
Initital recall was issued over 6 months ago and the parts necessary for repair are still not available.
Airbag light on display on.
Front passenger seat caught fire and burnt a hole from bottom up, took to the mechanic and he said it was from the airbag sensor that caught it fire, I was getting hair done at6 pm in evening, came out I hour later and smelt fire, looked and there was hole in seat, turned on air and rolled down windows, waived a magazine over it and made sure it was out. Drove home about 10 minutes away and air bag light came on. Tried to call bmw they were closed, went to my mechanic next morning he told me it was faulty to call bmw, I called bmw plaza and they told me tough they wouldnt do anything. I hated the hole so went to autozone to get something to repair it which made it look worse...been looking on line for seats very expensive. My boss told me as well that should be directed to attorney general which I messaged from missouri and us attorney general. This could of been worse, if I would of been longer arriving to my car it could of caught fire possibly or even worse my daughter could of been there and burnt. If this would of been winter with the heated seat on she could of been severely burnt, maybe dead. This should of never happened.

Drivers side seat belt buckle/tensioner failed and would not hold onto seatbelt. This caused the seatbelt alarm to sound as well as deactivate the drivers side airbag
