Description of the problem	The air bag light stays on.. The dealer says it's the sensor under the passenger seat which is a $1,400 repair. When you sit in the passenger seat the airbag warning goes on and off but the light on the dash stays on all the time. A recall was issued for this problem. The recall number is 08v161000. I went to the dealer and they said my car was not part of the recall. I called hyundai and they told me only cars built in may and june of 2006 would be honored for the recall. My car was built in july 2006 (according to hyundai corporate office). Why would they only recall cars built in may and june? Obviously they did not know the problem existed during the production of my car? What makes my car seat parts different from those produced in may and june? I asked if they had part numbers that were in the recall and if they changed design in july? They could not or would not answer me. My bet is they issued the recall to satisfy a few if any and turn-down all others to save money since this is a costly repair. From what i understand the seat has to be removed and sent out to be calibrated (cost estimate $1,400). The bottom line is my air bags will not deploy if the light is on and hyundai has a long long history of air bag issues. What can i do to get them to honor my car in the recall? If i were involved in a collision my airbags would not deploy which could cause serious injury.
