The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. When the vehicle was started, the air bag and seat belt warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 02v290000 (seat belts) and 03v321000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.
Took vehicle to the dealer to check the air bag warning light. They said it was caused by the seat belt and wiring that needed to be replaced. After checking the recall information, there was a recall (056) under campaign number 02v290000. The dealer stated that the recall was not for my vehicle which was a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. I called Hyundai and spoke with their rep and she said the same even though the recall includes 2003 Hyundai Tiburons. This fix will cost me close to $400. 00 just to pass inspection. Makes you wonder what was done on vehicles produced after March 2003 that was claimed to correct this issue, considering so many Tiburons that were produced after this date are having the same issue. I currently own 3 Hyundais, very disappointed as this car has only 79961 miles. Updated 09/15/lj.

This just happened one day. My air bag warning light came on the dash, and when I fastened in my seat belt it starts dinging like it's not fastened. It's annoying as I drive down the road. I've checked the air bag fuses and they are fine.
