Hyundai Motor America is recalling 35 of its 2023 Xcient vehicles because a critical steering component, the pitman arm, may not be properly secured to the steering gearbox. This defect can lead to a complete loss of steering control while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Hyundai has indicated that all affected vehicles have already been remedied, but owners should still verify their vehicle's status.
If the pitman arm becomes disconnected from the steering gearbox, the driver will lose the ability to steer the vehicle. This sudden loss of control can lead to a collision, though no incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
