    Hyundai i30 2010: EPS light

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai I30 Hyundai I30 Advice Hyundai I30 2010
    ...

    I have 2010 Hyundai i30 that just showed an EPS light on the dash. Hyundai had a recall for these cars manufactured to April 2010, mine is a June 2010. What can I do to get Hyundai to fix this, as it is clear the factory used the part that has caused the recall?

    It’s tempting to draw the same conclusion as you have, Peter, but it may not be that simple. The fact is, there are numerous reasons a car will throw up a warning light on the dashboard and, in the case of the electrical power-steering in your car that certainly holds true.

    Also, Hyundai was very clear that the recall for the faulty power-steering only concerned those vehicles built between November 1 2009 and April 30 2010. Your car was built after that date, so it shouldn’t be susceptible to the same problem. However, there is often confusion about build dates, so another way to check whether your car was one of the affected ones is to see if its VIN falls within the list of affected VINs according to Hyundai.

    For your references, the affected cars all had VINs between: KMHDC81TMAU064300 and KMHDC51TMAU267226.

    If your car isn’t within those numbers, then the likely cause is something different and a decent workshop should be able to scan the car and discover what is causing the warning light. It could be something really simple.
