I have a e60 2007 550i and since about a month I have been getting a fasten seatbelt warning light and sound for passenger when there is not a passenger in my car.
I brought it to the BMW dealer and they said I need to have the passenger seat sensor mat replaced and want to charge me $1309 (about $800 parts + labor).
factory warranty ran out and my extended warranty (direct buy elite plan) say they don't cover satebelt, airbag and other safety things.
I been doing some digging and came across this recall:

I did not receive letter and my dealer says I am not eligible as they say its vin-number specific and nothing popped up their system.
But when I read it, it does concern the exact same part that failed and needs to be replaced and my car matches the year and style of recall.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks so much
