THE MDPS (MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A FLEXIBLE RUBBER COUPLING WHICH MAY WEAR OVER TIME RESULTING IN A SLIGHT 'CLICKING' OR 'THUD' TYPE NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.

THERE'S A RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HYUNDAI USA FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE FOR OTHER MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR THIS ONE.
