"pass. Restraint passenger" error massage, appeared the first time, I replaced the seat belt tensioner, the error massage disappeared, then came back on about 5 months after. I have a convertible model.

During normal driving conditions the airbag and seatbelt tensioner system fail lights came on. We drove home and the lights stayed on ever since. Tried resetting the computer system but lights remain on.

The contact owns a 2008 BMW 335I. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the driver's side seat belt failed to tighten and properly secure the contact. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the seat belt component needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not replaced and the manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

When putting on my seat belt, the belt locked when pulled out of the retractor. The belt would not pull out far enough to fasten the seat belt. It took about 100 tries of reeling the belt in and then gently pulling it out to get the seat belt fastened. The BMW dealer says the upper belt reel and the coupler mechanism needs to be replaced.

Fourth incident - on-board diagnostics indicate "malfunction passenger restraint system" in eleven months for same problem. Service yet to be scheduled with dealer. I know there was recall for same problem in 2006 for BMW 3-series. I think BMW is installing faulty seat mats.
