All components and vehicle are available for immediate inspection. ​SAFETY RISK: Following an invasive warranty teardown for an ignition switch failure under R/O #XXX at [XXX] Hyundai, the vehicle was released in an incomplete, hazardous condition. The factory lower footwell closeout shield was completely omitted, leaving the rotating intermediate steering shaft, universal joint, electric power steering motor, brake clevis linkage, and wiring harness fully exposed directly above driver foot controls. This creates a severe entrapment and mechanical binding hazard. An unauthorized exterior screw was drilled directly through the finished lower crash pad trim to pinch broken internal plastic tabs together, and hardware was left rattling inside the column housing. ​DEALER CONFIRMATION & RECORD FALSIFICATION: Management dismissed the exposed shaft. On R/O #XXX Line 3, the dealership falsified the narrative as \"customer needs screws put in behind steering wheel\" under an engine line to conceal shop rework. Authorized remedy has completely failed.
