Recall on this problem

Yes it doesn't matter how many years have passed as long as the recalled part hasn't already been replaced by a dealership in the past

Occasionally this will reset ghost codes. May or may not help, can't hurt. If not, you could try Autozone and see if they can extract the fault code.

I don't know how many models were affected, but owners of original 2001 Elantras are receiving silent recall notices for airbag rewiring underneath the passenger and driver's seat (controlling the side airbags). The reason being anything that is left under the seat can knock the connection loose. I had this happen several years ago and the dealer simply reconnected it. Then last Fall I received a notice stating they are installing a new wiring harness or some such thing to prevent this problem, which evidently has been common. Don't try to repair an airbag light problem yourself. Call Hyundai USA or your dealer and ask if this problem might apply.

Hop this helps

Sami, the applique cracking is a comon occurance for that model year. There was never a recall on that component, however there was a technical service bulletin regarding how to repair the concern. Technical service bulletins do in fact tell us dealers quickly how to repair a concern, but unfortunatly when they issue a tsb, it does not increase the waranty coverages. As far as for it being a recall, recalls are for safety issues only,they do not expire and transfer from one owner to the next, regardless of age. Customer satisfaction programs however do have time and mileage limits as they are repainrg the concern for your satisfaction. i can not remember if there was a program on that concern or not, im thinking not though....All manufacturers follow these approximate guidlines. If you call Ford customer service (800-241-3673) they can tell you any recalls you may have and the exact date they mailed out any notices to you regarding recalls..i know this is of litle consilation, but at least now you know a litle more about it.....

you can ask but it is doubted if you will get any satisfaction
it is a 2003 model and well out side any warranty period

I am not aware of any statute of limitations for defective merchandise involved in a NTSA recall. If the recall involved the starter or any part of the electrical system supplying power to the starter, I would call the dealer.

yes easiest solution since it was a recall take it back to suzuki and tell them politely it has the same problem and let them deal with it..good luck I hope they look after you

Hyundai did a recall dealing with this specific problem. You can find it either by Google-ing "Hyundai Santa Fe recall" or calling your dealership.

that is a T74 Campaign. that should be covered if your car is under warranty.
