NHTSA's summary

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 48 number 13-39 dated March 18, 2013. The customer states they have a comfort concern about the steering system. The steering works correctly but intermittently feels notchy. There is no loss of steering functionality. The concern may be more apparent in colder weather, and may improve with warmth or an ignition key cycle. No DTC is stored and no warning appears in the cluster. This PSS TSB applies only to the comfort concern described in the condition of this PSS TSB. Please refer to the attached Information and Q&A document for guidance when handling each case. A solution is in development and will be made available as soon as possible. The steering wheel is mechanically linked to the wheels of the vehicle, and there is no loss of steering functionality.
