Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Clock spring broke causing airbag light to turn on. Clicking when turning steering wheel. Airbag will not deploy due to this issue. $800 cost of repairs
Airbag / SRS light came on. Took vehicle to the dealer service center for diagnostics. They found the issue is the Air Bag - Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: 51K1Z01 : BODY ELECT CONCERN. With the airbag light on none of the airbags will deploy in the event of an accident. So the clock spring assembly must be replaced and is currently not under any manufacturer warranty.
Airbag light is on..cannot pass inspection
The airbag light has been on in my car for awhile
I'm having a problem with my airbag light staying on. My vehicle has not been in a major accident that caused the airbag to deploy. I called kia to repair it because I'm still under warranty but they told me I would be responsible for getting the problem repaired. I thought if it had anything to do with airbags that would be the responsibility of the the company.
