THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SO SEARCHED TO UNDERSTAND IT BETTER AND FOUND THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V384000 FOR THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SEAT MAT DEFECT WHICH COVERS MY CAR BUT FOR SOME REASON I'VE CONTACTED THE BMW DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM TO SEE IF I CAN GET IT FIXED BASED ON THE RECALL FOR FREE OF CHARGE BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I CAR IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS ONE OF DEFECTED CAR BASED ON MANUFACTURING DATE. THE COST OF THE MAT REPLACEMENT IS OVER $1000, I THINK BMW SHOULD FIX MY CAR FOR FREE SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE BMW TO INCLUDE MY CAR IN THE RECALL LIST. *TR
