| 1. there were no noticeable events that led up to the failure. hyundai had a recall on the air bag sensor control module in october 2008 (recall id# 80141 & 80132). i had them install the new wiring harness and clips to prevent a spontaneous failure, but i had a failure none the less. 2. the front driver and passenger seatbelts failed without warning. i heard a loud bang noise and the seatbelts tightened up on both front passengers. i noticed an odor after the event and the seatbelts would not extend or retract and the air bag warning light was illuminated. i understand this safety feature was meant to deploy in the event of an accident, but i didn't hit anything. 3. i took the 2001 hyundai elantra in to hyundai to diagnose the failure. the following codes came up on the computer: b1361, b1360, and b1366. i was told i needed to replace the front seat belts and air bag control module. *tr | |||
