Front Seat Head Restraint Problems of Hyundai Azera

Took the car to harbor Hyundai in long beach, CA for an srs/airbag warning light that turned on and remained on in the vehicle's instrument cluster upon starting the car on 1/13/2019. The vehicle was stationary and parked in a residential street. This is a big safety concern, as the safety restraining systems may not function properly in the case of an accident. The service department diagnosed the issue with error codes b1490 and b1763, symbolizing an "OCS(occupant classification system) defect" and "OCS ecu defect" in the vehicle, which advised replacement of both the ecu and the passenger seat cushion. This issue seems to directly to relate to Hyundai's "campaign 111" recall which involves vehicles manufactured from may 22, 2012 through November 23, 2012 (just 1 month, 10 days) before my vehicle was built. Because the symptoms in this issue seem almost identical to that recall, this issue might be the same issue as stated in the recall. Unfortunately, the vehicle's VIN does not exist within that previous recall, meaning a large repair expense needs to be paid. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case number was made for the issue reported. Attached are copies of the service department's vehicle obd ii scanner report along with the invoice, an outline of the error codes scanned, and an estimated repair cost.

Car is locked, parked and no one is in it. The back reclining portion of the drivers will move towards the steering wheel by itself. I will move it back to position and begin to drive. The seat will move on its own toward the steering wheel, smashing me. I had to remove the headrest just to have some room. I will keep my hand on the seat controls and try to move it back into original position. Sometimes this works but most of the time will not let me move it. While this is going on, my seat belt is also getting very tight and uncomfortable. Several people have seen this happen and some have seen it while no one was in the car. The back of the drivers seat just moves toward the steering wheel. I am afraid to drive this car. If I cannot get the seat to return to position I am up against the air bag, which also scares me. If I had an accident while all this is going on, (and this is very frightening for me), the air bag would deploy and it wouldn't be good, I am sure. This is something I hear about on the news, air bags killing someone. I really need some assistance with this problem. This is a very serious and possibly dangerous situation. I would appreciate your help.
