I have a problem about fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag,belt tensioner and force limiter. During driving I've got a warning displayed on my hud. I had brought twice to dealer,they said fixed,but after one week later the warning light come back again. They keep said that I need pay for fix it. Is this recalls part? I think it is safety defects. This model:BMW 2004 530I please help. Thanks,
