Airbag light will not turn off. I have taken the car to two dealerships and they have not been able to fix the problem. The OCS is defective. I have had the car for 10 years and no one ever sits in the passenger seat. I do put groceries on the seat at times. I believe the problem is the same as the tsb campaign that was put out for 2006 -2008 Sonata. The campaign number is 083. How can I find out if my 2009 Sonata was manufactured in 2008? when the vehicle was returned from the first dealer the seatbelt light was flashing.

2009 Hyundai Sonata. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle head rest the consumer stated she was involved in a minor accident in a parking lot. As she backed out of a parking space, seconds later she hit another vehicle that was waiting for another space. There was some damage to both vehicles. The consumer soon realized there was a blind spot caused by the head rest on the drivers seat. The consumer stated her view was completely obliterated by the head rest in the rear of the vehicle. The head rest lined up perfectly with the rear windows support on the drivers side and thus hid any car that would be sitting there.
