# NHTSA recall 13V564000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 13V564000 - Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC - Reported: 2013\-11\-12 - Owners notified: 2014\-08\-29 - Component: AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION - Units potentially affected: 76565 ## What is wrong BMW of North America LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, model year 2007 328i, 328xi, 335i, 335xi sedans and 328i and 328xi sports wagons, model year 2006\-2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i sedans and 530xi sports wagons, model year 2006 760i sedans, model year 2006\-2007 750i, 750Li, and 760Li sedans, and model year 2006 X5 sports activity vehicles, equipped with certain seat types. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure. ## What can happen Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury. ## The remedy BMW will notify owners with an interim notification letter in January 2014 since parts are not currently available. When parts are available, BMW sent a second letter in August and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. Additionally, owners of model year 2006\-2007 3 Series with standard seats, 5 Series with comfort seats, and Z4 models, will receive an extended warranty on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat. Owners may contact BMW customer relations at 1\-800\-525\-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com. ## Notes Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 6, for 2015 quarter 3 - Filed with NHTSA: 2015\-10\-30 - Vehicles in the campaign: 76565 - Reported remedied: 34421 \(44%\) - Reported unreachable: 5104 - Reported removed: 1558 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2015 quarter 3, as filed with NHTSA.
