Description of the problem	Upon obtaining my state inspection a couple weeks ago around 60k miles, my mechanic pointed out a slight "thunk" when turning the steering wheel and said to check for recalls. Since then it has become increasingly more noticeable. It "thunks" or clicks just to the right or left of center. First i only noticed it when parked, now i notice it when driving and the steering column rattles very loud when i go over even a small bump in the road. I am concerned that it is getting worse and trying to get an appointment to have it looked at. I see where this was a big problem with the 2011 model and now is starting with the 2012 around similar mileage. Clicking and rattling noise in steering column, not only while turning, but small bumps will make it rattle. Hope hyundai issues a recall soon!!!
