STEERING
- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2020 Genesis G70 vehicles. A component within the Rack Mounted Motor Driven Power Steering (R-MDPS) Assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, possibly resulting in the steering locking or becoming difficult while driving.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Hyundai dealers have replaced the R-MDPS Assemblies, free of charge, prior to the sale of the vehicles. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 004G.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the steering 8 times before this, most recently in February 2018 as 18V118000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hyundai Motor America with NHTSA on July 31, 2020 as campaign 20V447000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
