By Kevin Davis on Friday, July 12th, 2013

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating the Hyundai Santa Fe sport utility vehicle (SUV) after receiving complaints that vehicle can suddenly lose power, reports Detroit Free Press.

The agency has two complaints that the right-front axle shaft can fail on 2013 models.

The investigation covers about 50,000 vehicles. Investigators will determine if the problem is big enough to require a recall.

No injuries or crashes have been reported.
