SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WARNING LIGHT/DEVICES
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured September 1, 2015 to February 12, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses may be damaged by the seat's height adjuster mechanism, resulting in a failure to provide an audible warning when front seat occupants do not fasten their seat belts. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Fix: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reroute the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses to their proper locations, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 141.

On my 2017 hyundai santa fe limited, he audible seat belt alarm does not sound if the person in the front passenger seat is not wearing his/her seat belt. There was a recall for this very problem on the 2017 hyundai santa fe sport (#141), but not for the full sized santa fe (which I have). When I called hyundai they told me that I would have to pay for the repairs!

I have a 2017 hyundai sante fe limited ultimate and when a passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not have there seat belt fastened no audible warning sound alarms telling them to fasten there seat belt. I have gone to a hyundai dealership and the mechanic told me that the audible alarm only goes off if the driver doesn't have their seat belt fastened.

The passenger seat belt warning chime is inoperable. Only the dashboard light operates. This occurs when the vehicle is moving with a passenger on board who has not buckled up with the seat belt.

I previously put in a complaint about the front passenger seat on my 2017 sante fe. When someone sits in the front passenger seat and does not put there seat belt on no audible warning sound warns them to buckle the seat belt. I see that hyundai has a fix for the drivers seat audible warning (06-01-013) but no fix for the passenger seat.
