Official summary

This preliminary information communication advises the technician that the condition is a normal operating characteristic of their vehicle. A customer may comment that they feel a steering bind condition when the car is in reverse, or driving forward and the steering wheel is turned at or near the full-lock position.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
