Service bulletin Service Bulletin
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Service bulletin - After driving in reverse and steering, there is a buzz or grunt after shifting from Reverse to Drive and turning the steering wheel. For example, the client turns while backing out of a driveway, shifts to Drive, and then turns the wheels to drive off, may hear the buzz or grunt. The software that manages the electric power steering (EPS) is designed to provide good steering 'feedback' in all vehicle operating conditions. To acquire the correct 'feel,' different settings are required in reverse and forward directions. The improved software is designed to prevent the buzz or grunt during the transition of rapidly changing from Reverse to Drive while turning the wheel to maneuver the vehicle.
