| Description of the problem | Air bag light turned on the dash of the 2009 hyundai sonata. Called and reported to hyundai (case # upon nhtsa request) and then took the vehicle to a hyundai dealer. Vehicle has 26,456 miles on 12/23/2014. Dealer description of fault scanned for dtcs, b1322 and b1324 present and active in srs system. Cleared codes and attempted wcs reset procedure via gds, reset failed and dtcs returned. Passenger seat bottom needs replaced per tsb 09-bd-007. Customer declined repairs at this time. Quoted $2,189, tax included. I paid $127. 43 to diagnose the srs system problem. The nhtsa has a campaign (recall # 08v161000) for the failure of occupant classification system (ocs) in the right front seat for 2006-2008 hyundai sonatas. This 2009 hyundai sonata was manufactured on 01/8/2008. These early manufactured 2009 hyundai sonatas should be included in nhtsa campaign (recall # 08v161000) since the same 2008 passenger seat bottom part was probably used in these vehicles. The failure of occupant classification system (ocs) in the right front seat is a safety issue that the nhtsa needs to address. |
