Consumer Description

SMALL CRACK HAS DEVELOPED IN THE MAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP IS ON. NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN INDICATED THERE WAS A RECALL (REFERENCE NUMBER 08V384000) ON THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED. CALLED BMW NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. I BELIEVE BMW SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPAIR SINCE THEY HAVE A RECALL ON OVER 200,000 VEHICLES AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ESTIMATED REPAIR IS $1,500. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR
