The NHTSA in the US is investigating a steering-related problem with the Hyundai Sonata - our Hyundai i45. Although the investigation does only affect American models, the concern could become more widespread.


Only after being on sale for a few months in America, the Sonata has received various awards and praises from journalists and automotive experts since. The car could now be facing a recall though that could affect 16,300 of the vehicles.

There has been reports of a connection problem within the steering universal joint assembly. If the connection separates a complete loss of steering will result.
