I took a drive today and the error message "Passenger Airbag Restraint System faulty". Anyone have this problem? I read member 1stgen8 changed out an amp and this message came up, but nothing on my car was changed prior to this message. Is this part of the airbag recall on passenger airbag?

Yep. Call the dealer.

Maybe slightly Off Topic here, but if I put a baby seat in the passenger seat(s) (front & rear) does the E60 auto detect it, or is there a manual switch off for the airbag?

Did you guys get it replaced under warranty? My warranty just expired last Sunday... just my luck. How much does this sensor cost?

Thanks in advance!

The airbag recall is not affected by standard warranty limitations. You're fine. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26179745/
