“Due to the decrease in grease amount in the worm gear, meshing area of the Electric Power Steering gearbox during use, the sliding resistance in the meshing area increases and the torque fluctuation becomes larger while turning the steering wheel,” the advisory reads. “This results in an unusual sound and an unsmooth turn from steering while turning, or ‘sticky steering,’ that might make the driver feel a sense of unease.”
