Description of the problem | Air bags in bmw x3 manufacture date sep 2005. My vehicle is fully loaded and the airbag sensor is defective in the passenger seat according to bmw tests ran on the truck. This is the same issue identified in nhtsa campaign number 08v384000, however bmw will not rework the sensor issue. They are telling me that i have to pay over 1100 euro, as i am station in germany and purchased the vehicle through military car sales. Since it is the exact issue found in the same year and model of the recalled vehicles this should be considered and repaired. Yet bmw states that my vehicle was not i=one of the over 200000 which was included in the recall. How am i to determine if my vin number was affected. My vehicle was produced during the same time frame and it was special ordered. Please assist if possible. |
