The air bag light came on for the front passenger seat. I took it to Grayson Hyundai & they tried to get part #88840-3L500-J9 which is the latch right front buckle assembly. I was told there was no part available because my car is a 2006 & manufactures are only required to carry parts for 10 years. I was also told if the air bags worried me to trade cars. I would think the seat belt buckle for a safety feature like the air bag would have to always be available. I have owned this car since 2006, it only has 26,600 miles on it. It has always been garage kept & literally looks like a new one EXCEPT I have NO air bags. Also, today I was told part #88840-3L500-J9 is on a National Parts List, whatever that means. Surely this has happened to someone else. I just decided to report it.

How many people have to be injured before hyundai figures out their non-airbag deployment issues? 57 complaints on the federal safety agency for the 2006 azera air bags, and I was just in a hard side t-bone collision just in front of the driver's door that broke my collar bone, and not one air bag deployed. I was proceeding through a 4 way intersection when my light turned green, and a car to my left was accelerating through the red light. I bought the car brand new, and completed all issued recalls. When my air bag light kept coming on three years ago, I was finally told it was the driver side seat belt tension sensor, which was not covered by a recall, only the passenger side had the recall, so I spent over $600 to have it fixed, and the error light went out. I opened a case with hyundai to inform them I was in a side impact accident and no air bags deployed. When they called to follow up, they did not seem interested in figuring out the problem, said I never brought the vehicle back for a follow up, and asked me what my agenda was? I had no agenda at the time, and was even looking to purchase a g90, but I guess now it is to let some hyundai owners know their could be air bag problems.
I took my 2006 azera to the dealership when I received a recall notice for a possible SRS malfunction (10v007000). After a year or so the SRS light came on intermittently but was mostly off. Starting this week (3/15/2019) the SRS light has stayed on and won't go off. Based on what I have read, this is a common problem for azera owners. I believe a second recall is necessary since the first one did not solve the problem for very long.
I have an 06 hyundai azera and there was a recall made back in 2013 for the passenger seat wiring hireness. The defect would cause the airbag not to deploy. Would I be able to get this defect fixed now? I did not own the vehicle back in 2013, as I did not own it until may of 2015. It is showing the signs of the defect. The air bag light is on and it is throwing error codes b1489&b1495, which is for the passenger occuputant system. I also have this noise like something is loose in the suspension. Every little bump causes a rattling noise. I can not tell if it is the front or back, but I am assuming it is the back since there was a recall on this as well, plus I have replaced all front end parts. And the noise still exists.
Over past approximately 4 1/2 years, the airbag light has been on 7 or 8 times. Mileage ~136k, 151k 183k,191k & 203.6k. The seat belt pre tensioners and complete seat belts replaced 4-6 times and the airbag control module once. The driver's seatbelt pretensioner was successfully repaired ~august 8, 2016. A company agent inspected the functioning of the passenger air bag [ocs] august 26, 2013. Today 2-2-2017 the seatbelt light came on. My mechanic determined the code was b1382 side curtain airbag -high resistance. I have complete records of the maintenance and repair of this vehicle which I can supply upon request.
Air bag light on...vehicle taken to dealer and I was told that pretensioner passenger side seat belt failed. Recall compllied with on passenger side seat belt 2010. Cost to fix $573. Not repaired yet. I have complained hyundai of america.
Air bag light stays on and wont go out
Air bag warning light(s) always on when no one is sitting in front passenger seat. Note: no accident has happened. This car was supposedly fixed under an earlier recall (hyundai 094).
Air bag light (dash) comes on and stays on. Passenger air bag light does not indicate any fault. Code 1495.
The air bag light in the instrument cluster lighted and from time to time was off but has been lighted since approximately 145,700 miles, about two years 3 months. In dealer and independent mechanics tests the code indicated that the seat belt sensor is malfunctioning and that the side impact air bag located in the right front seat back may be inoperative. This indicator light is currently lighted. Hyundai provided an examination of the front right airbag located in the right dash. It was indicated to be functional. In queries to hyundai I have been told that the front airbag was repaired according to the recall requirement. Is the recall correction only valid for one correction?
