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.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN SPEED IS LOW AND IT IS TURNING WEIRD. ALSO THE SEAT BELT DOESNT RESTRAIN PROPERLY
Steering, Apr 16, 2017
THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLICKING SOUNDS AS IT TURNS, SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS BREAKING OR ALREADY BROKEN INSIDE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON IN MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLES. IT IS,AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR BUT APPARENTLY BASED ON COMPLAINTS I'VE READ, THEY DO NOT. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS CAN LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE IF I'M UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR SO I'M HOPING IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL. THIS CLICKING TAKES PLACES CONTINUALLY AS I DRIVE AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

THE STEERING COLUMN CONTAINS A HARD PLASTIC "COUPLER" AS PART OF THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. THAT HARD PLASTIC DETERIORATES OVER THE COURSE OF 5 OR 6 YEARS AND, WHEN IT FAILS, THE DRIVER WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. ALTHOUGH THIS PART ON MY CAR HAS NOT YET FAILED, I CANNOT AFFORD THE $499 THAT THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ITEM.
Steering, Oct 14, 2016
AT 59,894 MILES THE STEERING COLUMN FELT VERY UNATTACHED. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $345.10 LABOR AND $10.47 FOR THE PART. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM AND QUESTIONS WERE ASKED HYUNDAI CONSUMERS AFFAIRS ( CASE # 9600787) TO NO AVAIL. MY HUSBAND ORDERED THE PART OFF EBAY AND FOUND THAT THE MATERIAL WAS NOT THE SAME THAT THEY REMOVED FROM MY CAR ( THEY GAVE ME THE OLD PART). THE NEW PART LOOKED THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE, EVEN HAD THE SAME NUMBER BUT IT WAS MUCH FIRMER AND MORE RIGID THAN THE ORIGINAL PART. I ASKED HYUNDAI CONSUMERS AFFAIRS SEVERAL TIMES IF THIS PART WERE NOT REPLACED COULD IT LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. NO REPLY. READING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON 60,000 MILE PROBLEM ON THIS CAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN THE HYUNDAI/ KIA CORRAL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A STEERING PROBLEM IN EVERY CAR PRODUCED BY MANUFACTURER FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COME TO A FIX THAT PROVIDES SAFE DRIVING ON ALL ITS CARS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR WHICH SHOULD BE MORE THAN 60,000 MILES. IN MY 45 YEARS OF DRIVING I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH POOR QUALITY WHICH COULD HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS RECALLED FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE ASSISTED POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT M.J. SULLIVAN DEALERSHIP IN NEW LONDON, CT IN APRIL OF 2015. THIRTEEN MONTHS LATER THE SYSTEM FAILED AND THE STEERING IS NOW DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY DURING ATTEMPTS TO MAKE TURNS OF SHORT RADIUS.

TWICE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST HAS GONE OFF . ONCE AT 20 MPH AFTER MAKING A TURN IN MALL PARKING LOT, AND ONCE APPROX 30-35 MPH WHILE GOING STRAIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET IN SUBURBS. .

VEHICLE WAS TOOK IN TO DEALERSHIP LAST 4/22/2015 FOR EPS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 AND HYUNDAI RECALL 127. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE RECALL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON 5/26/2016 WAS DRIVING THE 2010 ELANTRA AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY. CALLED HYUNDAI THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF RECALL TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER ON 6/1/2016 STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE BUT DID NOT FIX EPS STEERING ISSUE AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN $2150. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A RECALL IS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FULLY AND CORRECTLY NOT CHEAPLY AND HALFWAY. THE EPS CAUSES STIFF STEERING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO STEER. THIS COULD LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IMMEDIATLEY WITH OUT WARNING THE STEERING IS AUTOMATICALLY GONE. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE AFTER LOSING STEERING I TRIED MAKE A TURN OFF THE MAIN ROAD INTO A SUBDIVISION TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS TURNING AT A VERY LOW SPEED BELOW 5 MPH I WAS UNABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE AND A CAR WAS EXITING THE SUBDIVISION. ALTHOUGH THERE WOULD BE MINOR DAMAGES, THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN EXIT COMING AROUND A TURN. THE LOSS OF STEERING IS UNSAFE AND I DO HOPE THAT THE RIGHT MEASURES ARE EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT.

ON THURSDAY 5/19/2016 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE A.M WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT TO THE STEERING WHEEL I NOTICED IT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS CATCHING (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM)WHEN THE CLICK OCCURS AND YOU ARE MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK THE OTHER WAY. WHETHER MOVING STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT OR LEFT BUT NOT WHEN MAKING A COMPLETE TURN. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR MY YEAR AND 2011 SONATAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A COUPLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I USE AND WAS TOLD BY THE WARRANTY ADMINISTRATOR THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE REPAIR WONT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I AM OUT OF BASIC. I ASKED IF IT IS DANGEROUS AND WAS ASSURED THAT IS IS JUST NOISY.

JUST STARTING GETTING A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING MAKING NOISE IN STEERING WHEELS .. AND IT GET WORSE .. SEAT BELT KEEPS UNCLICKING
Steering, Jan 27, 2016
THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN CRACKING AND NOW IS DISINTEGRATING IN MY HANDS. SLOWLY BUT SURELY IT IS POSING TO BE AN ISSUE WITH SHARP EDGES WHICH HAS CUT MY HAND. I BELIEVE IF THIS KEEPS GOING THE SKELETON OF THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BE EXPOSED. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES OF THIS. I HAVE TALKED TO HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO INFERIOR MATERIAL USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL.
