Known issues on the 2017 Elantra. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two concern the frontal air bags: one covers the driver-side inflator module on cars built between April 15 and September 13, 2016, where an air bag that does not inflate fully increases the risk of injury in a crash, and the other covers frontal air bags, where an air bag that does not inflate increases the risk of injury. A third recall addresses the electric power steering system — a damaged Electronic Power Steering (MDPS) connector can result in a loss of electric power steering assist, which would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds. The fourth covers the brake booster, which may fail, resulting in a loss of power brake assist; that can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle. Owners have filed 1,061 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 111 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing heavy steering at parking speeds to testing brake booster function or working through a scheduled service, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 Elantra.
