Similar issues on several other models have been addressed with recalls or extending the warranty to 10-15 years, but not for the G30 (yet). I suspect it could be at some point, but as of now, it's not covered outside of the factory warranty.

"Safety belts are covered under the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty for defects in material or workmanship for a period of 10 years, unlimited mileage from the date of purchase."

Put money on it being a corrupted ACSM module software issue ask them to recode it.

The issue was a faulty sensor mat in the passenger seat. They replaced the mat. The mat is what signals whether a passenger is in the seat and if the airbag should deploy in an accident. Total repair would have been $2,600 if not covered by warranty.

See many people changing mats and then the issue returns. In that case probably the ACSM that controls the safety systems.

Hopefully becomes a warranty extended item.

It happened once. I moved the seat around, turned on the massage, etc. It hasn't happened since but it's on my list for the dealer to check out next time in along with the cars insatiable need for coolant, which seems to be common.

There are a few SIBs out on the false passenger seat thing including a zip tie fix. For now, not worth a trip to the dealer for this one-off.

brought to dealer last month as the error popped up twice.
Dealer states since it 's not currently an active error there is nothing they will do.
I showed them TSB and they said they cant just start replacing parts at will.

now my new car warranty has expired this month.

im sure they will be happy to do something now...

They were able to pull the codes from my car with the error having popped up six weeks before. I'd press the issue that it was brought in before the warranty expired. There should be a record of your complaint even if they didn't do any work on the car.

i did have service advisor note that car was brought in before warranty expired.
they mentioned code was there but since it's not active, nothing to fix.

I just got a quote today to repair this issue and it was $2,130 at BMW of Turnersville since it now happens to me daily.

Recommend everyone to post a complaint (even if its fixed) to NHSTA to make this a recall safety issue.

$2700 to fix passanger airbag malfunction. There needs to be a recall on these passenger seats.
