Recall Alert: Hyundai Azera
Posted: Jan. 05, 2010
 
Hyundai has issued a recall order for about 65,000 Azera sedans from model years 2006 through 2009, in order to correct a defect that could lead to airbag failure.
 
In a recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the automaker explains, “The wiring harness for the right front seat belt tension sensor may sustain damage after repeated use of the seat belt. If the seat belt tension sensor wiring becomes damaged the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash necessitating front air bag deployment.”
 
Hyundai dealers will replace the wiring harness free of charge. Azera owners should receive a recall notice in the mail in February, but those who wish to make their own repair arrangements may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

I wonder if we get an indication that there's a problem if someone sits in the seat and the " passenger airbag deactivated " is still lit?
Anyway, we're still buckling up - airbags only give a small increase in safety over a seatbelt alone.

Don't know. Called my local dealer and they know nothing about the recall at this time, so I guess it's wait 'till February letters go out...

It's about time! I've been experiencing issues with air bag lights since year 2 of ownership. They've replaced sensors, seat cushions & seat belt tensioners, and the issues still exists. Since I now have almost 80k miles on my Azera, the extended warranty doesn't cover airbag issues and I would have to come out of pocket. My latest required fix...driver's side seat belt tensioner at a cost of over $300 just for the part. I too will be waiting for the letter to come out and I will go into the dealership holding it high and yelling, "I TOLD YOU SO!!!!" I knew there was something up with the system. At any rate...that's the only complaint I have about my Azera at this point. 80k miles and still going strong!!!

i just read a post on another site that the 2006-2009 Azeras will be getting recall on the seat belts, but Hyundai is to start the recall next month.

#4072 of 4269 2006 Hyundai Azera windshield wiper blades by lrtak

Has anyone had issues with the wiper blades (Hyundai brands or others) not cleaning the driver's side on the downswing? My blades have been replaced multiple times in the 2 years I've owned the car. They will work fine for a period and then they smear and shudder, so I go back to the dealership and get a replacement or have the arm replaced. My dealership is now working with Hyundai on trying to figure out what to do. The car's been there for 2 & 1/2 days now. Doesn't matter what type of blades they use or replacing the arm.

You might try using some Rain-X on the windshield and see if that helps the problem.

Thanks for the advice. That was something they asked me if I used, but I said no. They ended up replacing the arm and the blades again. Now they work.

Hey azgrand,
You got it! Once James makes a sale, if the product is defective, you are
screwed.He will NOT entertain dealing with damaged goods received even
when its his fault! Stay away from him ! Deal with David at KSPEC. He is most helpful and can get anything that James has!l

Actually, aside from being slow to respond (at least for my tastes), they did actually fix the problem to my satisfaction. They sent me a no-charge replacement for the defective component I had received. From order placement to resolution took over two months (admitedly including shipments from Korea), but they did get it right in the end.
