2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the brake booster, which can fail and leave the driver with little or no power assist, requiring much greater pedal force to stop the vehicle. Two separate brake booster issues are present: in one, the internal diaphragm can unseat and create a vacuum leak, while in the other the booster can fail outright, both resulting in longer stopping distances. There is also a frontal airbag recall affecting vehicles built within a narrow window in early 2016, where the airbag may not inflate in a crash. On the steering side, a connector at the electric power steering motor can be damaged, causing a sudden loss of power assist that makes the wheel noticeably harder to turn, particularly at low speeds.
