NHTSA Complaint #11469225 — 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

I have a Steering Coupler failure on a 2014 Santa Fe with 67k miles. Hyundai has already recalled the Steering Coupler in the Elantra and Sonata models, however this same part is used across multiple models including the Santa Fe and Azera. My family is forced to replace this on a 2014 Santa Fe and 2013 Azera. The defective part causes a heavy clunking in the steering column which could lead to an accident. Below is the recall notice. https://autoservice.hyundaiusa.com/TXX7/MicroSiteTemplate/MicroSiteTemplateVINValidate/2687 The part being replaced is below, which as you can see is across multiple models. MDPS Flexible Coupling Replacement 56315- 2K000-FFF Applicable Vehicles: 2010~2014 Sonata (YFa), 2011~2014 Sonata Hybrid (YF HEV) 2007~2017 Elantra (HD, MD/UD), 2009~2012 Elantra Touring (FD), 2013~2014 Elantra GT (GD), 2013~2014 Elantra Coupe (JK) 2013~2018 Santa Fe (NC) 2012~2017 Azera (HG) 2012~2017 Veloster (FS) I wanted to report this to ensure that the government agency responsible knows that this part is used in more than 2 models. This is a common complaint against Hyundai if you read online about their complaints. It is unsafe and unfair for other models to not be included in this recall.
