Takata recall : i would like to know why my airbags do not need to be replaced or are not listed for recall. In the summertime this vehicle sits in 90 to 100 of a temperatures with the airbag being exposed to this high heat.. When i do a vin search the only thing that comes up is a recall for the harness hitch which has not been performed to my vehicle because it does not have a tow hitch on it.

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 nhtsa recall number 09v-497? Thank you *tr

I was stopped in traffic on a freeway when hit from behind. The driver claims he was driving at approximately 35 mph yet my airbags did not deploy. How is that possible and is it normal?

Airbag light is always on, as well as my check engine light. All doors do not always lock on their own, pushing lock button on keychain twice does not sound the beep to ensure doors locked, car alarm goes off randomly, fuel gauge does not work. All of these have been recalled by hyundai but for some reason, my 2007 with less than 90,000 miles is not covered. *tr

5/14/14 31,509mi air bag light remained on after multiple ignition off-on cycles. Dealer followed directions in bul.07-090-003. Code b1332 was shown but "not definitive". Code was erased and airbag light has remained off for 2 days. At the outset, dealer rep said there would be a 119$ charge for diagnostics (out of warranty). I objected strenuously because of the low mileage, airbag safety importance, and 2 previous…

Driver side air bag failed to deploy despite extensive damage to the front of the vehicle on the driver's side. The initial insurance company report puts visible damage at 65% of value and anticipates additional, unseen damage will push cost above 75% and result in the vehicle being totaled. *tr

My santa fe's airbag light came on. When i sent it to the dealers they said it was the "clock spring" that needs replacing. There has been a recall issued by hyundai (nhtsa id 11v472000) for this exact reason in the united states. Problem is i live in south africa and our legal system is not as efficient as yours is so manufacturers get away with not issuing recalls that originate in the states. Do you have a part…

It has remained on for all these years when stationary & moving but i put in a date several years ago…
