Hyundai Motor America recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Feb 23, 2015, covering about 204,768 vehicles.
The problem

The electronic power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may sense a discrepancy in the steering input signals and, as a result, disable the steering power assist.
The risk
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
