Battery Cable Problems of Hyundai Accent

Jul 02,2020 manufacturer recall number193 NHTSA recall number20v393000 recall statusrecall incomplete summary Hyundai motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2012 Hyundai elantra and sonata hybrid, 2012 Accent and veloster vehicles. The 12v accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the outlet to overheat with prolonged use, such as by using the tire mobility kit air compressor to inflate a tire. Yesterday, 2020-10-19, since I never owned the original air pump, the dealer (vision Hyundai - henrietta new york) refused to repair my vehicle. But both he and you (NHTSA) seem to be making a seriously egregious error in logic. Any third party device which plugs into the 12v accessory port could cause the same risk of fire because it is the *port* which is defective, not the air pump. That's what the recall notice says, I quote from above: > the 12v accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during > installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the > outlet to overheat with prolonged use, Hyundai's proposed work-around of using a direct to battery harness connection is ridiculous on two counts. 1. It doesn't solve the root-cause problem. 2. It requires customers to manually connect wires to the battery, something that we know can be dangerous. I quote: per your own research data: from October 1993-September 1994, there were 581 injuries from checking the battery cables, and 444 injuries from jump starting the battery. For a total of 1025 injuries in one year alone! (data from table 1) (retrieved 2020-10-20 from https://crashstats. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/api/public/viewpublication/97840 ) surely, you (NHTSA) wouldn't endorse a solution which has worse safety hazzards than the original problem. Would you?.

Started out to go to work, when I started the car, I noticed the "airbag" warning light on dash would not go off with the rest of the usual lighting. At the same time I noticed the "passenger" airbag light was "on". I pushed on the cushion of the front seat and the "passenger" dash light now read "off". However, the "airbag" warning light on the instrument cluster remained on. Turned the car back off and after a few minutes, started the car again. Airbag light remained lit and the "passenger" light on dash was reading "off". Disconnecting the battery cable for a few minutes did not solve,clear codes, either. Gls model with 143,800 miles.
