Passenger Restraint Malfunction - Warning

Hmm, I got my first electrical gremlin... BMW certainly isn't like my previous Honda... DOH

I read in another forum that the "Passenger Restraint Malfunction - Warning" was fixed under a recall.

Anyone else get this error?

Also, I was wondering if the fault can be transmitted to the mothership if I press the bmw assist button while the error is displayed? On the other forum the dealership couldn't replicate the error or find a stored fault.

A month less two days old.

OK, I got the warning again today... too bad my crappy BB takes terrible pictures.

Software glitch? My car is less than 30 days old. Do you know when the updated software was released?

I have a 2011, so it's not exactly the same I think.. I am reasonably certain they do routine point releases though

either way.. take it back and get it checked out.

We'll I took the car in for the SRS fault and the dealer just cleared the fault.

Diagnosis? Excessive moisture! what a crock of $hit... Anyway, at least now BMW is on the hook if the airbag does not deploy in an accident.

They would have been smarter to say, "no fault found, code deleted" and left it at that.

Now I'm wondering if I should ever return to that dealership considering the mechanics don't know their arse from a hole in the ground.
