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.

A red light warning on air bags came on while traveling. When the problem was checked by a Hyundai dealer, they reported that the seat pods were shorted out and that the seat pods needed replacement at a cost of over $1,600. The car mileage was 53,000. The OCS system is not working. I contacted Hyundai about the problem and they sent a contract person to inspect the problem. He indicated that he thought that the air bag system was working, but could not explain why the warning light was on, nor would he comment about the dealers finding. I returned to the dealer and they confirmed that the OCS system was not working due to the seat pod malfunction. I contacted Hyundai again with their dealers finding and requested that Hyundai replace the part and I would pay the labor cost. They replied that their position that the OCS system was "operating according to design" and that they would not replace the seat pods. It is apparent that this another example of Hyundai"s air bag problems, but they refuse to acknowledge the problem or replace the faulty part. This is a serious safety problem for me and my family. I have kept all correspondence with Hyundai about the problem.

Air bag warning lit. Dealer checked and found no cause. In April, 2014 warning lit again, checked by independent mechanic and found no cause. January, 2015, warning light again lit. Have not had it checked yet. Called manufacturer and was told that they would not provide assistance. I needed to go to dealer or mechanic and pay again for inspection.

I own a 2006 Hyundai Azera. The air bag warning light was illuminated in the instrument panel. Took it to the dealer may 24, 2013, and was told that the passenger seat sensor needed to be replaced and would cost $500. If I wanted this repaired, they would have to order the part and I was to call them and let them know. Afterward, I looked on your web site and found that there is a recall. Call the dealer and found out that I had the recall done April 17, 2010, and would have to pay for it to be repaired again. It seems to me that Hyundai did a temporary fix for this problem. Since consumers have had this problem to recur after the fix, it is obvious that this is just a band aid. The fix doesn't even last five years. Because this will not allow the air bag to deploy, this is a safety issue and Hyundai should repair the sensor for as long as the original owner owns the vehicle without charge.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Azera. The passenger front air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument control panel. The vehicle was taken to the Hyundai dealer three times. The air bag module and harness under the front seat was repaired. The repairs did not remedy the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.
The problem started in 2008. The air bag light warning light came on and we took it to the dealer. They replaced the passenger seat. Less than 6 months later the warning light came on and this time they replaced a wiring harness. A few months later we received a recall notice on this same problem. This last incident was in 8/2010. Now it is on again and they refuse to repair it under any kind of warranty. I feel this a component of the safety system and continuing failures of the same part should call for additional recalls.
My 2006 Hyundai Azera has been to the dealership no less than 12 times, before and after a pertinent recall repair, for an issue where the "passenger airbag off" warning light is illuminated despite passengers of various heights and weights being seated in the passenger seat. My nearest Hyundai dealership has failed to correct this critical safety issue on countless occasions, including replacing the entire passenger seat bottom. The last few attempted repairs consisted of "reprogramming" the sensors in the passenger seat; resetting the error code and sending me away in a vehicle with defective 'advanced airbags' which do not meet the nhtsas regulatory definition. The issue is present in a majority of Hyundai models that use their proprietary OCS system, but narrowly-applied settlements of litigation have prevented this from evolving into a class settlement, and greatly reduced the ability of consumers to have their problems addressed. Vehicle owners that don't qualify under the recent (July 28, 2012) santa fe recall are again being denied the federally mandated requirement of a functional advanced airbag system.
