Description of the problem	Airbag warning light remained on after starting the vehicle recently. Vehicle was diagnosed on august 31, 2015 by local hyundai dealership (where purchased) . Results of diagnosis stated on service description "code in acu for ocs module. Recommend replacement of passenger seat bottom". It was stated that with the airbag light on ,the service department could not guarantee airbag would work. So we immediately ordered recommended airbag parts. ( front passenger seat bottom) at a major cost of $1,246. And labor cost of $165. Parts came in and were installed on september 9,2015. Airbag light is off . This safety system needs to be investigated for root cause and corrective actions. With only 81,319 miles , this falls way short of long term performance. . With safety of my family at stake with this issue i had no other choice but to get this issue fixed . Plus it would not pass state inspection. Last i have seen several other reports of airbag lights on for hyundai sonata 201, same problem.
