| Description of the problem | The passenger buckle was replaced in april 2017 after airbag light came on. October 2019 went to dealer to have airbag light checked and they again say the passenger buckle needs to be replaced. They say it is not covered by hyundai 15 year warranty on seat belt buckle issues. Code is b1518. They say it has to flash a different code for the extended warranty. Paid $406 in 2017 for the repair and will need to pay $480 to have it replaced again. I rarely use the passenger seating because i usually drive alone. I am the original owner. |
