Hyundai Motor Co. announced Saturday that it will recall vehicles in North America because of an issue it is experiencing with these cars' sensors.
The recall covers about 263,000 vehicles, with 205,000 cars in the U.S. and about another 58,000 in Canada, according to DailyFinance.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said sensors in these cars could find an issue in the steering input, which would force the sensors to turn off power-assisted steering.
The Korean automaker says this will force the driver to put more effort into steering the car at low speeds, thus resulting in a greater risk of a crash, The Detroit News reported.
Vehicles covered in the recall include 2008-2010 Elantras made between June 1, 2008 and April 30, 2010 and 2009-2010 Elantra Tourings made between Nov. 1, 2008 and April 30.
Hyundai said it will notify owners of the affected cars and that dealers will fix the control unit of the electronic power steering, free of charge.
