Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The reduction of power steering assist can increase the steering effort needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured May 2, 2014, through May 23, 2014.
A poor connection within the vehicle’s wiring harness may result in a reduction of steering assist from the vehicle’s motor driven power steering system or the inability to move the vehicle’s shifter from the Park position.
