Hyundai in the US has recalled 2,138 model year 2015 Sonata vehicles manufactured between 2 May and 23 May this year because 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.
The reduction of power steering assist can increase the steering effort needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
