Red “airbag” light on dash illuminated while driving. Code read as B1706: passenger buckle pretensioner. May have been covered under Hyundai’s 15yr/250k warranty but owners never notified since not official recall. Although, this defect may not affect airbags themselves it causes “airbag” light to remain illuminated until addressed. Driving with the “airbag” light continuously illuminated may pose risk to unsafe conditions due to unknown new airbag codes since “airbag” light already illuminated with buckle pretensioner code B1706.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Air Bag light is ON due to bad OCS - OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM on the passenger seat. It is a safety issue and airbags wont deploy in case of an accident. Passenger seat bealt light is blinking even withoit passenger. Problem has been confirmed by the service center and reported to the manafacturer. There is an open campain 083 for Sonatas with this issue but not all vehicles are included, VIN of my vehicle is not included even if it has the same issues as described in the campain.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the airbag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact then received notification for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 08V161000 (Air Bags). The contact called the manufacturer who set up an appointment with a local dealer for the vehicle to be serviced. The dealer informed him upon arrival that they were going to decline to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed him to ignore the warning lights on the instrument panel. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. Consumer stated he received 2 letters regarding 2 safety recalls dealer refuses to repair it. One is passenger seatbelt light is the other airbag light.
The air bag sensor in my car is defective. This was already a recall by hyundai, but for reasons I don't understand does not include my car and I believe it should have. It is the right make, model, and year the original recall included. Apparently the seatbelt tension adjuster is also involved in my case.
My mechanic advised me of airbag code b1448 and advised me he rad my VIN to check any open recalls. He stated my VIN is not in airbag recall related to this code but that there were aibag ocs codes on that model year which came up b1448 that were covered. I cobtacted hyundai north america and went over with them a series of questions relating to the vehicle. Hyundai advised me that I may be covered by vehicle passenger ocs recall. Dealership refused to diagnose without a charge. Also tried to instead sell a battery despite being new one. Contscted hyundai north america again and referred me out but stated while this is recall it doesnt apply to VIN. I am not going to deal with intermediary however, I chose to deal with you directly to resolve what personal mechanic is telling me is an absolute model year code recall thst just happened not to include my VIN.
I first noticed the valve cover gasket leaking onto the alternator at about 121,000 miles and at 140.000 miles I had the valve cover gasket replaced, thermostat, intake plennom gasket also. And had the alternator replaced after it failed because of the oil leaking onto it at 156,092. Luckily I just drove by my mechanics garage at about 50 MPH and about a mile passed his garage the car started to buck and stall and all the dash board lights were flashing along with the cd turning on and off along with the seat belt light which was flashing on and off when it was buckled for about 1 month prior to this failure. I actually made it to his garage before it shut down in his parking lot.
The sensor for the seat of the passenger side is not working and is giving problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the air bag and seat belt warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the seat sensor failed to function properly. The vehicle was taken to route 46 hyundai (located at 40 us-46, hackettstown, nj 07840, (866) 755-9537), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 83,000.
Air bag light on continuously, fault passenger seat belt pretensioner high resistance. Disabling the SRS system. Light just came on upon startup.
The air bag turns on and remains on. I found out that there has been a warranty extension for this vehicle, however, when I visited the dealership they simply sent me away stating that they don't have the parts and hyundai is still working on it. It seems like hyundai dealers are sending away customers without taking any responsibility or at least trying to order the part. My airbag light is still on and this is a safety issue that dealers are simply avoiding to address. The dealer did not even bother to check the car with a diagnostic tool, as soon as I mentioned the warranty extension they simply said they do not have the parts.
