| Vehicle keeps saying passenger restraint malfunction. passenger air bag will not deploy in an event of an accident. there was a recall for the year 2004-2006 models, for the same reason (passenger restraint malfunction). the recall does not cover the 2007, 2008, 2009 model. the car has never been in an accident, and i feel like if it does, my passenger air bag should deploy when there is a body occupying that seat. the car says the passenger air bag will not deploy when an accident occurs, this is a serious defect. this should not be a problem in any vehicle, let alone a bmw. | |||
