Description of the problem | The airbag light was on in my mini. There was a recall on the cable tensioner, but on models of 2003 and above. I am wanting you to reconsider the year of this recall to include 2002. I needed to replace the rep cabe f seat side airbag, rep cable bel tensioner, cable strap, cable connector, shrinking hose and cable strap with bracket for a cost of 800. The affect of this defect in the car is for the car to be unable to determine the weight of the passenger in the car in order to deploy the airbag properly. |
