Not two months since its official unveiling, Hyundai has announced it has to recall some 2,138 copies of its 2015 Sonata whose power steering may not work as intended due to a faulty connection in the car’s wiring harness. The issue can extend to affect the shifter as well, as it may be stuck in the Park position.
On cars that present the fault, the steering wheel will require much more effort than usual to turn – they don’t say whether it gets any worse or if it runs the risk of seizing up completely, but as you can imagine, it’s not desirable behavior.
The affected cars were manufactured between May 2 and May 23 of this year. Hyundai has already gone ahead and started to contact the owners of the affected cars whose problems will be put right free of charge.
