Consumer Description
My AIR BAG warning light is constantly illuminated. I went on line and found Hyundai 2006 Sonata recall RCONL-08V161-6944 and recall RCONL-08V161-9148 which covers this problem. I also found Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin Number 15-BE-002 which provides the service procedures to repair this symptom. Can't believe it simply involves two inexpensive wire ties. The recall letter states that this problem will be repaired at "no charge to you" and Hyundai will "provide you with a vehicle while your vehicle is being serviced. I am unable to pass my states (RI) vehicle inspection without this repair. I took my car to a local Hyundai dealer and was told that when my VIN number was inputted, my vehicle was not included in this recall and there would be a $150.00 diagnostic fee on top of any repair fees. I am not going to pay hundreds of dollars to insert two cable ties, especially when this problem has already been recognized as a Hyundai problem.
