Defect Summary:	Certain passenger vehicles may have been built with threaded portions of the steering gearbox assembly's left and right inner ball joint assemblies that contain internal cracks in the material structure.
Consequence Summary:	If the inner ball joint assembly was to break as a result of the internal crack, the tie rod end assembly would not longer be attached to the steering gear box. this would prevent steering control of that front wheel by the separated tie rod which could result in a crash.
Corrective Action:	Dealers will replace the steering gearbox assemblies on these vehicles free of charge. owners were contacted by telephone beginning on april 8, 2005, and instructed not to drive their vehicles. hyundai will arrange to pick up and return their vehicles after repair. owners may contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
