NHTSA complaint #11338384, filed 2020-07, 141,000 miles“The air bag module (codeb1346) is non functioning in 2013 Hyundai Veloster.

Hyundai is non responsive to inquiries about replacement. This is a major safety issue and, upon inquiry to other Veloster owners, this occurs very frequently in Hyundai velosters.”
