NHTSA Complaint #10593738 — 2007 BMW 5 SERIES

I HAD AN ON & OFF ISSUE SINCE LAST WEEK OF THIS YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAG & SEATBELT WARNING BEING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD & OVERHEAD CONSOLE OF MY 2007 BMW 530 XI. IT WILL STAY ON FOR A WHILE AS I START THE CAR BUT WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES. NOW SINCE LAST WEEK THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. THE IDRIVE SCREEN SHOWS " PASS. RESTRAINTS SYSTEM FAULT IN PASSENGER-RESTRAINTS SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER OR BELT-FORCE LIMITER. CONTINUE TO WEAR THE SEATBELT. HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY BMW SERVICE CENTER". I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE & FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000. I CALLED BMW OF TENAFLY AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE I'M HAVING ON MY VEHICLE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN# OF MY CAR IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS INTO THE SAME CATEGORY OF MAKE, MODEL & YEAR OF VEHICLES BEING RECALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
