Service bulletin SIB-65-11-14

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

This Recall involves the front passenger airbag OC3 (Front Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor Mat) for the E53 (X5). Over time, due to the frequency of front passenger seat usage, the OC3 seat mat can become damaged. If this were to occur, deactivation of the front passenger airbag could result, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash. If the front passenger airbag became deactivated, the airbag warning lamp on the instrument cluster and the Passenger Airbag Status Lamp (POL) in the Roof Functions Center (FZD) are illuminated at the same time. OTHER AIRBAG-RELATED FAULTS AND REPAIRS The issue being addressed by this Recall may or may not be the root cause of a vehicle arriving at your center with the airbag (SRS) malfunction light illuminated. It is important to identify vehicles with the airbag (SRS) malfunction light illuminated during the repair order write-up process; this will allow you to review the scope of the Recall repair with the customer. It is also important to notify the customer that diagnosing other airbag-related system issues may be required and this diagnosis and corresponding repair work, if needed, is not covered by this Recall.
