Hyundai recalls 263,000 cars due to power-steering problem

Hyundai is recalling about 263,000 cars in the U.S. and Canada because a sensor problem could cause drivers to lose power-assisted steering.


The company has not reported any injuries or accidents. A representative for Hyundai Motor America wasn't immediately available for comment.


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says a sensor in the affected cars could detect a discrepancy in the steering input and signals and disable power-assisted steering as a result.


Cars would revert to manual steering and require greater effort to steer at low speeds, raising the risk of a crash.


The affected cars include model years 2008 to 2010 of Elantras and Elantra Touring vehicles made between Nov. 1, 2008 and April 30.


Owners can contact Hyundai's customer service at 1-855-671-3059.
