Hyundai Recalling Over 200,000 Vehicles For Steering Issue

Hyundai is recalling thousands of vehicles due to a steering issue, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said earlier this week. According to NHTSA documents, Hyundai Elantra and Elantra Touring vehicles manufactured between June 1, 2008, and April 30, 2010 may suffer issues with the electronic control unit of the electronic power steering. The discrepancy that the ECU may detect could cause the disabling of steering power assist. “If power steering is lost,” NHTSA says, “greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.”
