Hyundai recalls almost 205,000 Elantra cars over power steering loss

New York

HYUNDAI is recalling almost 205,000 of its Elantra cars because the power steering could suddenly stop working, making the vehicle harder to turn, according to a report from the automaker posted on Saturday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website.

The action covers the 2008-10 Elantra and the 2009-10 Elantra Touring. Hyundai said the driver would still be able to steer the car if the power steering was lost, but that it would require "greater driver effort", particularly at low speeds. The automaker did not mention any accidents or injuries related to the issue.
