NHTSA's summary
Some customers may notice the heated steering wheel shuts off by itself after approx. 5 - 7 minutes after turning it on. The heated steering wheel is designed to stay on for 30 minutes before shutting off by itself. This may be due because the temperature around the thermostat is greatly increased due to the incorrect positioning of the steering wheel heating element. This results in the electrical supply to the heater being prematurely shut off. To eliminate this concern, the position of the steering wheel heating element has been changed and aluminum tape has been applied to it.

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
| 06-001-18-3481 | 2018-07-02. Service bulletin. Some vehicles may exhibit an unusual noise (clacking) from under the front of the vehicle. This noise only occurs when starting to move the vehicle while the steering wheel is fully turned to the driver-side (left side for LHD vehicle and right side for RHD vehicle). NOTE: The noise will not occur if the steering wheel is in the center or to the full passenger-side position. The noise is caused when the edge (A) of the inner ball joint (B) gets stuck with the steering gear housing (C). To eliminate the noise, a spacer (A) has been installed between the inner ball joint (B) and the steering gear housing (C) (both sides) to prevent direct contact. |
