Description of the problem	To whom it may concern; i am a canadian citizen, however this complaint involves a vehicle originally purchased in the usa. I bought a 2005 bmw x3, which is exhibiting the issue exactly as described in nhtsa campaign number: 08v384000, as follows.... Recall: 2004-2006 bmw x3 nhtsa campaign number: 08v384000 www. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov manufacturer bmw of north america, llc recall date: jul 18, 2008 potential number of units affected: 200000 description air bags:frontal summary bmw is recalling 200,000 my 2006 3 series sport seat, my 2004-2006 5 series standard and sport seat, and my 2004-2006 x3 passenger vehicles. Depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit, small cracks have developed in the mat. If this occurs, the front passenger air bags, with the exception of the head protection system, will be deactivated and the air bag warning lamp as well as the passenger air bag "on-off" lamp will be illuminated. Consequence in this situation the front passenger air bags will not deploy even if a sufficiently severe accident would occur and occupant protection provided by the system would not be possible. Remedy dealers will rework the front passenger seat sensor mat so that external force application to the seat does not cause a crack to the mat. The recall is expected to begin during late september 2008. Bmw will also extend the warranty on these vehicles to 10 years from first registration without any mileage limit. After contacting bmw of north america, they informed me my vin / vehicle is not affected by this recall. I believe that it is, and this is a serious safety issue as the passenger seat airbag system has been deactivated in my vehicle. There may be many more vehicles affected by this defect then those originally included in this recall and this should be investigated.
