Hyundai Motors has initiated a recall on almost 140,000 2011 Hyundai Sonata’s because of issues with their steering columns. Despite the fact that no drivers have had any major issues, or had any accidents because of the associated risks of the possible malfunction, Hyundai has gone ahead with the recall as a precautionary measure.

Thus far only 10 drivers have even reported issues with the steering column, and the cars associated with the recall were only those 2011 sedan models produced in a Montgomery Alabama plant. The problems seem to show up in the early going, as all cars that have had problems had under 1,000 miles on them. Despite the large number of vehicles being recalled, the cost to Hyundai should be relatively low due to the fact that the repair is simply and inexpensive.
