I just took my car into have the ECU replaced under recall/warranty and immediately after there is a ton of play in the steering wheel. My car was fine before the recall work was done. I will be taking it back to Hyundai to see what they say the fix is. I hope I don't have to pay for it.
Avoid the 11 model year! It's cursed, I swear.
