Description of the problem	I received a recall notice from hyundai indicating that there is a defect and the "passenger air bag off" lamp illuminates while the right front seat is occupied by an small stature adult. I have twin 16 year old daughters and when they sit in the right front seat the light sometimes goes off and it sometimes stays on. I contacted the dealer and let him know the situation and i was told to give it another week. On 9/23 i contacted the dealer again in newark ohio and again explained the situation and craig barger informed me he would have to contact his rep. He let me know via email on 9/26 that again unless i could show them that the light did not go out they couldn't do anything. I then contacted the hyundai customer assistance center and informed them of the situation and they informed me that they could not do anything unless i proved to them the light would not go out. He told me to go straight to the dealer and i informed him that during the week i work and after work the dealer is closed and has minimal hours on the weekend. I am frustrated and concerned that the safety features of this car is not what i bought.
