- What is wrong
- Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 hyundai veracruz vehicles manufactured from december 26, 2006, through march 21, 2008, and model year 2007-2008 hyundai santa fe vehicles manufactured from april 19, 2006 through march 20, 2008. The clock spring contact assembly for the driver's air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) may become damaged through usage over time. The driver's air bag electrical circuit will experience a high resistance condition, potentially causing the driver's air bag to not deploy.
- Risk
- If the clock spring develops high resistance, in the event of a crash, the drivers air bag will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries.
- Remedy
- Hyundai dealers will replace the vehicle's driver's air bag clock spring contact assembly free of charge. The safety recall began in november 2011. Owners may contact hyundai customer connect center at 1‑800‑633‑5151.

What 2008 Hyundai Veracruz owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle alternator went, something in driveshaft broke, causing vehicle to go right on its own into telephone pole, sir bags didn't deploy. Recalls are out on these issues but no one has covered vehicle loss and loan.
The ESC light goes on and off when I am driving. In addition, the safety seat belt light is on. I feel these are tied to teh recall on this made and model, however, when the dealer runs my VIN, it is not on the list. I feel this is in error especially when I read the safety recall info on recall #13v113000, 09v122000, and 11v472000. I am not sure why my vehicle is not on the list when the VIN is run against the database since the description and symptoms are described in these known recalls. How do I get my VIN properly included in these recalls. The dealer refuses to work on it as part of the recall unless it is in the database. These are safety issues.

Air bag light is on and stays on
Airbag light came on. Dealership says the passenger occupancy sensor has failed and it will cost $2600 to repair. This seems very dangerous and like it should not fail under normal wear and tear. The sensor can not detect if a child or adult is in the passenger seat, making the car incredibly dangerous! This has happened to several other hyundai vehicles as well. Clearly a systematic problem!

The airbag light just came on when I started my vehicle. I am the original owner and the car has never been any sort of accident. I had a service tech pull the codes (b1448- ocs mat defect and b1481 - high resistance too high(2nd stage) for driver side airbag and the code points to the clock spring. There is a recall on these model veracruz's but not on my VIN. Hyundai may need to expand their VIN list. I have the car sitting now until I get this resolved by hyundai. My car is the exact same model and color as pictured here. Https://www.cars.com/articles/2011/09/recall-alert-2007-08-hyundai-santa-fe-veracruz/ hyundai will not fix it because there is no active recall for my VIN. Is there anything that I can do?
