2005 BMW 545I: airbag warning light

Filed Mar 11, 2017 · Airbags, Brakes · IN

My passenger side air bag light and seat belt light are both on at all times. The on board computer says fault in passenger side seat belt or seat belt tensioner. Also the back brakes don't work at all but the front ones do. Was wondering if this was a recall matter before I spend thousands to fix the problem

As soon as I started the car, the passenger seat belt restraint and airbag light showed up as a malfunction. After doing some research I notice that bmw had a recall on a seat mat sensor on 200,000 5 series. I also did some research and notice that there is a great amount of people with this same problem. This is a major concern because the seat mat sensor is bad the passenger airbag will not deploy if I get into a car accident.
