The electric power steering system in your 2017 Elantra is a computer-controlled system that helps you turn the wheels. If it's damaged, your steering could become much harder to manage, especially when driving slowly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the system fails, you'll have to use more force to turn the wheels, which could lead to a crash, especially in low-speed situations like parking or merging onto a busy road.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will replace the faulty EPS motor with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you'll receive a notification when the repair is ready to be scheduled.
