What is wrong

What can happen
Loss of power steering assist would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash.

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the EPS motor, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-243-7766. Hyundai's number for this recall 161.
