What owners say
The airbag light and the seatbelt light came on, this is a safety issue so I don't know if the car of that year had a recall or not ..it was city street
Have researched numerous forums regarding car issues. "passenger restraint malfunction" alarm appears on idrive with airbag light illuminated and seat belt light illuminated on dash board. Reads that parts of the passenger restraint system have failed or are faulty. Front passenger air bag may or may not deploy, along with other passive restraint devices. Have not received any notifications from bmw regarding recall issue, but discovered recently there is a recall for my car model/year. Am awaiting a service appointment to have it evaluated, will not pay to have it repaired if dealership says it is not part of the recall. "steering wheel lock malfunction" on idrive. Light illuminated recently and continues to stay on. Can currently start and run my car, along with turn steering wheel and hear the steering wheel unlock when key is inserted into ignition. Also researched on bmw forums, known to many 3/5/6 series in my year of production having similar issues in europe and USA. No recall from bmw on this also? Will also not pay for this repair as it appears to be a defective part for the model year by bmw.
