What is the STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM recall for the 2010 HYUNDAI Elantra? (Campaign #15V100000)

Your Elantra's power steering system uses an electric motor to help you steer, controlled by a computer called the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) unit. In some 2008-2010 models, this computer might get confused and shut off the power assist. If that happens, you'll need to use more force to steer at low speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash, especially in tight spaces or emergency situations. Your Hyundai dealer will check and update the EPS control unit to ensure it's working properly, all at no cost to you.
