NHTSA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE RECALLS ON MY 2004 BMW 325XI 4DR SEDAN. THERE WERE 2 RECALLS THAT ARE RELATED TO AIR BAGS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS ARE #15V318000 AND #14V428000. I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION THAT THESE RECALLS ARE VALID SO I CAN GET THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS. PLEASE SEE THE SUPPORTING DOCS ATTACHED. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING WEIRD ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING TO THE POINT THE CAR WONT SHUT OFF AT TIMES, HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AFTER A DAY, TURN SIGNAL GOES OUT, CAR DIES, STEREO WONT WORK ETC. I WAS WONDERING IF OTHER RECALLS WERE PLACED ON THIS CAR AS WELL?

THIS IS A FORMAL PETITION FOR A SAFETY DEFECT INVESTIGATION. MY 2004 BMW 325XI HAS A LEFT TAIL LIGHT THAT DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE OF A POOR CONNECTION AT THE REAR LAMP CONNECTOR (THE GROUND WIRE RECEPTACLE AND HOUSING HAVE BURNT OUT BECAUSE THE GROUND IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE CURRENT). MY RIGHT TAIL LIGHT STILL FUNCTIONS BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SIDE BURNING OUT AS WELL AND POSING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. BMW HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (SI B 63 03 06) WHICH ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE AND SAYS THAT THE CAUSE IS "MINOR CORROSION AT THE 8-PIN REAR LAMP CONNECTOR CREATES HIGH RESISTANCE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CONNECTOR HOUSING." BMW HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING TAIL LIGHT. *TR
