2012-14 Hyundai GD i30: knocking or clicking noise from steering wheel
In May 2014, Hyundai Motor Corporation issued Technical Service Bulletin 14-ST-002-1 for a range of Hyundai models, including the 2012-14 Hyundai GD i30. According to the technical bulletin, the flexible rubber coupling in the motor driven power steering (MDPS) assembly could deteriorate over time and cause a ‘clicking’ or ‘thud’ type noise when the steering wheel was turned.
To fix, the flexible rubber coupling was to be removed, along with all perished rubber – compressed air was recommended. A new coupling was then to be installed in its place and aligned with the electric power steering motor. The part number for the flexible rubber coupling was 56315-2K000-FFF; the revised coupling had the same part number, but it was marked ‘4P’.
According to the bulletin, there were no steering performance issues associated with deterioration of the rubber coupling.
Hyundai GD i30: peeling steering wheel cover
In August 2013, Hyundai Australia issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) SE03513 for Hyundai GD i30 vehicles manufactured before December 2012. In these vehicles, the leatherette coating for the steering wheel may experience peeling. While it was previously necessary to replace the entire steering wheel, the technical service bulletin provided a procedure for replacing the steering wheel body only.
