Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2007-2010 Elantra and 2009-2011 Elantra Touring vehicles. On February 21, 2020 Hyundai expanded the recall to include 46,425 model year 2007-2008 Entourage and 2007 Santa Fe vehicles. Moisture may enter the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module and result in an electrical short.
An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the vehicle's main junction box to prevent the risk of an ABS short-circuit while the car is turned off, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 188.

Steering, electric power assist systemFeb 23, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Elantra vehicles manufactured June 1, 2008, to April 30, 2010, and 2009-2010 Elantra Touring vehicles manufactured November 1, 2008, to April 30, 2010. The electronic power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may sense a discrepancy in the steering input signals and, as a result, disable the steering power assist.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will verify the proper operation of the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and update the EPS control unit, free of charge. The recall began April 14, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 127.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchApr 1, 2013
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

RUBBER COUPLING FAILURE IN THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) ASSEMBLY A $2 PART WITH A $350 LABOR BILL. SAFETY INSPECTION STATION SAYS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO PASS INSPECTION. HYUNDAI NEVERTHELESS MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (IN AN OBVIOUS ATTEMPT TO PREVENT A RECALL). THE PART HAS FAILED JUST BEYOND WARRANTY COVERAGE. I'M SOLICITING GUIDANCE ON HOW TO COVER REPAIR COSTS FOR A POORLY DESIGNED PART THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL AND COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THEY RECALLED EPS IN 2015 AND I WASN'T NOTIFIED. NOW THEY TOLD ME IT WAS STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $2000 FOR THIS. THE DEALER WON'T EVEN USE THE EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX MY CAR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING.

2010 ELANTRA HAS 37,000 MILES. I'VE HAD THREE EPISODES (ONE WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER DRIVING) WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED ON CITY STREET. NO PRIOR INCIDENT KNOWN TO CREATE THE CONDITION. THUS FAR, ONLY WAY TO FIX PROBLEM IS TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART. NOT VERY SAFE. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD STRUGGLE TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT TO SAFELY TURN IT OFF AND RESTART.

IN 2016 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR "STICKY" STEERING, IN WHICH THE DEALER REPLACED BUSHINGS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ON 5/19/2018, WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, WAS INFORMED THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT BECAUSE HYUNDAI HAS PROPRIETARY CODES ON THEIR EPS AND ABS SYSTEMS THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, FORCING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOT HAVING THE FUNDS TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 20 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER, I DROVE MY CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING TO THE DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 84,000 MILES AND NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THEY CAN NOT TELL ME THE REASON THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT IT DOES AT MY COST OF $2,500! I FOUND THE RECALL OF THE EPS BUT THAT IS ONLY REPAIRED WITH A PART, NOT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH LOW MILEAGE ELENTRAS HAVING TO HAVE THEIR ENTIRE STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED AT THEIR COST. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN DANGER.

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST. . NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 15V100000 IS ONLY FOR CAR BUILT BEFORE 4/30/10 AND DOESN'T INCLUDE THE ONES BUILT AFTER WHERE I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T STOP MAKING THEM DIFFERENTLY OR PUTTING DIFFERENT PARTS IN THEM. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONES BUILT BEFORE MAY 1ST AND MANY OTHERS ARE AS WELL AND THIS RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL 2010 CARS AND NOT JUST ONES BUILT BEFORE MAY 1ST. I HAVE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS LIGHTS ON SHOWING ITS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE REST OF THE 2010 MODEL SO ITS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE THAT NOT ALL OF THE MODELS BUILT IN 2010 ARE INCLUDED. MY LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANTLY AT ANY SPEED WHAT SO EVER AND LIKE THE RECALL STATES IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF I DIE IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM LIKE ANY OF THE RECALLS THEY ARE WILING TO PERFORM THEY WILL BE PAYING MILLIONS MORE THAN THE $600 RECALL THEY SHOULD BE DOING TO BEGIN WITH.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GETS DISABLED WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES RECENTLY AND CONCERNED WITH THE SAFELY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000... BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLE. IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE ISSUE IS ALSO RELATED TO THE RECALL. NEED YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THE SAME.

A THUD IS BEING MADE THAT STARTS WHEN STEERING AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE DRIVE. IT STARTED BEFORE 100K AND HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP DIDN'T KNOW CAUSE. NOW, HYUNDAI ADMITS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DISTENGRATING STEERING COUPLING RUBBER AND HAVE CAMPAIGN TXX7 YET BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOW OVER 100K (MY CAR IS CURRENTLY 118K AND LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD (I'M ONLY OWNER) AND I DISCOVERED IT BEFORE 100K), THEY WON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. I NEED HELP PLEASE WHY HYUNDAI FIXES MY ISSUE.

FAILURE OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I NOTICED A HEAVY STEERING WHEEL FEEL. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) SENSE A DISCREPANCY IN THE STEERING INPUT SIGNALS AND DISABLE THE STEERING POWER ASSIST. THE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER EFFORT BE REQUIRED FOR ME, WHILE I DRIVE, TO STEER THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

20 JANUARY 2018- TODAY THE EPS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. STEERING IS OKAY FOR NOW, BUT HAS BEEN CLUNKING OFF AND ON FOR SOME TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COUPLER WEARING BUT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR MANUFACTURE DATE IS MAY 07 2010. MAY 04 2015 I HAD 60000 SERVICE DONE. CAMPAIGN931 WAS PERFORMED AS EPS S/W CHECK AND ECU UPGRADE ONLY. MY MANUFACTURE DATE IS ONE WEEK OLDER THAN THE LAST MANUFACTURE DATE ON THE RECALL. DID THE DATE RANGE EXPAND? IS MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN A LARGER COUNT? AM I ELIGIBLE FOR A REPLACEMENT?
Steering, Jan 9, 2018
IN MY STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT INTO A SERVICE STATION AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A FLEXIBLE COUPLING GROMT. I DIDN'T DO THIS IT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY TOLD ME IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOTHING I DID. IT DOES THE NOISE WHEN I AM SITTING STILL. IF YOU TURN THE WHEEL IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING.

STEERING WHEEL MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE EVERY TIME YOU TURN IT

THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOSE
Steering, Suspension, Service brakes, Oct 20, 2017
THE CAR CREAKS WHEN YOU GO AT A SLOW SPEED OR OVER A HUMP. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO MAKES A CLICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND WHEN STEERING IT AND WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT IT MAKES A CREAKING NOISE. WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR, IT SEEMS THAT IT CREAKS ONCE THE WEIGHT IS LIFTED. THE CREAKING IS EITHER WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN GOING AT A LOW SPEED OVER HUMPS AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED OR DOING THE SPEED LIMIT, YOU DON'T HEAR THE CREAKING, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL STILL KNOCKS. AND WHEN PUTTING ON BRAKES AFTER NORMAL SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL KNOCKS BADLY.

APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON HYUNDAI CARS AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2010 IN DECEMBER 2014. THE RECALL WAS PUT OUT IN FEB 2015. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ,MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICING AND NO ONE HAS EVER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS EVER A RECALL ON HYUNDAI MODELS. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM FAYETTEVILLE NC WHEN I WAS STATIONED AT FORT BRAGG. I AM NOW IN GERMANY. THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GETTING ALL WOBBLY. I TOOK IT TO 2 GERMAN SHOPS AND I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. SO I TOOK IT IN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HYUNDAIS BUT I MISS THE DEADLINE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY AROUND 4000 EUROS TO GET IT FIXED. SO IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS SITUATION? I WASN'T NOTIFIED. NOBODY NOTIFIED ME. IS THERE A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS OR GET MY MONEY BACK?. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HERE IN KAISERSLAUTERN GERMANY. THE SHOP ORDERED THE PARTS AND WAITING FOR IT TO ARRIVE SO THEY CAN START WORKING ON THE CAR.
