Hyundai is recalling 795 vehicles, specifically certain 2024 Tucson and Santa Cruz models, because of a defect in the power steering assembly. A circuit board within the motor-driven power steering unit can short circuit, causing the steering to suddenly become much harder to turn while driving. Owners can have this issue fixed by visiting a Hyundai dealer, who will replace the electric power pack at no cost.
A short circuit in the power steering motor causes an immediate loss of power steering assist. This requires significantly more physical effort from the driver to steer the vehicle, which can lead to a loss of control and increases the risk of a crash.
