Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 212,000.
Airbag light came on for no reason known to me. I took it to the dealership and they told me it need to be replaced. Its the passenger side airbag
Takata recall I was just made aware of the airbag recall. Ever since I've had this vehicle, 7+ years, the airbag warning light stays on. For the first few years I took it to the dealer service just before inspection by the state of nj so it could pass inspection but it always came back on a week or so later. It has remained on for all these years when stationary & moving but I put in a date several years ago approximating when it first happened. I'm sure when I trade it in this year, it will cause the trade-value to be lower.
Takata recall: air bag light stays illuminated. Several years of santa fe have been recalled. When checking my VIN, no recall appears. It's the same problem as the other years.

Air bag light is always on. Dealership found code b1495. There was a recall for this part , for this year on other hyundai models. Dealership told me it is the same "belt tension sensor unit" on all these models. Why is not the sante fe also included in the federal safety agency recall number 09v‑497? Thank you
Takata recall about may 2016 airbag dash light and passenger airbag light malfunction, dash light stays on, passenger airbag light does not recognize passenger. Took vehicle to dealership on 8/18/16, and was diagnosed that "problem due to a makeup bag wedged under passenger seat causing poor contact at connectors." within 4 days, airbag dash light and passenger light were malfunctioning as initially described above. Took vehicle into dealership on 9/8/16 for same problem. Dealership did a pods reset, a recalibration as I understand it. Airbag dash light and passenger light worked for 24 hours before they malfunctioned again as initially described above. Further communication with dealership has been to inform me that the "ocs mat is $2473.50 plus $312.50 for install. That's the whole seat. Hyundai does not offer it separate." this is a known problem with the airbag system. This is not my bill to foot, it's hyundai's. In the meantime, I don't know if I have airbag protection.
