1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2021

Multiple sensors and lights on the dash are illuminated, including the airbags, brakes, traction control, hill assist, tire pressure, etc. I've been told that this is related to a vacuum pump issue. Other Hyundais are under recall for this same issue, but my VIN does not show up as covered. This is an extreme hazard as the car is not functioning properly, and if the sensor are not functioning, properly, there is no guarantee that the airbags or other safety systems will function as intended with this underlying problem. The recall needs to be expanded to include all of the 1. 6 Tucsons, as it's obviously an issue across the manufacturer and multiple models. This problem happens when the vehicle is in motion, and these systems engage randomly causing the vehicle to function poorly. Additionally this affects emissions.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 06/11/2017

Short passenger trying to use an auto seat cushion found that airbag protection was disengaged (off)--in motion or stationary. When cushion was removed, airbag protection was engaged (on). Passenger seat should be up-down adjustable for persons of different heights. Or sensors improved.
