My vehicle / VIN should be included in the recall campaign no. 13v‑564: "front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor mat." my vehicle is part of the model year 2006 x5 sav's that has the defect. But my VIN is not being recognized in the recall and is experiencing the exact defect. The air bag warning lamp on the instrument cluster and the front "passenger air bag off" lamp in the overhead console are illuminated at the same time. The sensor has become damaged over time due to the frequency of front passenger seat usage. Bmw ag has decided that the defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in the model year 2006 x5's. When I contacted bmw USA they told me my vehicle was part of the recall but they had the last digit in my VIN as a "2" instead of a "3". The rest of the VIN was the same. The VIN with the last digit as a "2" was the exact model as my vehicle (year, color, inside and out, and equipment). But for some reason my VIN is missing from the recall. Why is my VIN not part of the recall if it is the same vehicle (year and model) as others that are part of the recall? How do I have my vehicle / VIN added to the recall campaign no. 13v‑564?
