The passenger airbag occupancy sensor failed, meaning the supplemental restraint system does not know if someone is sitting the in passenger seat. Apparently, this was a recall issue for 2006 bmws, but the manufacturer fails to take responsibility for newer ones like those in 2010. A quick google search will show this is a very common problem.

Safety note warning comes on dashboard, every time car is started and stays on, stating the air bag on head restraint may explode and release metal fragments that would cause injury.

The contact owns a 2010 BMW 535I. While driving at an unknown speed, the front passenger seat belt and air bag sensor lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical cable loosened. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was repaired on two separate occasions. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 67,000.

After hitting a bump when entering a driveway, water spilled in the rear cargo area of the station wagon, water drained into spare tire wheel well where electronic control modules reside shorting out most major controls-anti lock brakes, load leveling, transmission, traction control, etc. It is the lowest point of the car's interior.

Air bag warning light illuminates with adult passenger firmly belted into passenger seat. Light remains illuminated for periods which vary from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. There is no way to tell if this is a defective light only or if the air bag is inoperative. An additional safety concern is that BMW diagnostic techniques are not able to detect this failure. BMW refuses to correct the defect.
