“The contact owns a 2013 BMW 128I. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that while his wife was seated in the front passenger’s seat, the passenger’s side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the front passenger’s side seat occupancy mat had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the part was no longer being manufactured. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.”

“Front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor (OC3) mat warning "Passenger restraint system. Fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag" BMW has an extended warranty for this exact issue on several other models, but not the 1 series which should be included. This is a huge safety issue and shouldn't be the customer's responsibility.”

“CPSC:WORKING WITH MY MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED OVER THE COURSE OF 2 MONTHS, THAT THE FRONT SEATBELTS AND SEVERAL OF THE AIRBAGS HAD EITHER BEEN DISABLED OR REMOVED. *DT *JS*DT*JB”
