Red airbag light and red seat belt light came on and there was a chime going off. Passenger seat occupancy mat is giving a fault code and disabling the passenger side airbag

My passenger seat belt restraints and airbag warnings light comes on. I saw that this year was included in my model 525I, but BMW of honolulu said my bin shows no recall" I'm confused and upset on how BMW can risk such a safety issue by not including all affected by this especially my year and model class because it's obviously an issue we all are having around the same exact time. Is there a solution or should I give up on BMW for such neglect for my safety and yours"

I recently started getting passenger restraint system warning message appearing. After searching online, I discovered 2006 525I vehicles have a recall on the same issue. However when I contacted BMW, I was told based on VIN number my vehicle is not under any recall even though I have same issue with the vehicles under recall and referenced NHTSA campaign number: 17V428000 (air bags). Currently, the passenger airbag will not deploy and can cause serious harm to the passenger if involved in any type of accident, therefore, my vehicle should be part of the recall.
