Description of the problem	The is a clanking noise behind the steering wheel. Local mechanic describes it as notorious hyundai problem. The information for recall 10v-426 was given to me. Hyundai does not include the hybrid with this recall. There are several other similar complaints, on this website, that describe the same problem. I have made this complaint before but notice it is no longer on the website. This noise happens when traveling over bumps, even slight subtle bumps, or while turning the wheel. It can happen while stationary or moving. This has been an ongoing problem but june 2018 is when hyundai acknowledged the problem during another service campaign. I currently have 129k miles.
