Service bulletin B320425

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

After prolonged straight-ahead driving (e.g. highway driving), there may be a temporary, slightly noticeable increase in steering forces when steering out of the steering wheel center position. This minimally noticeable increase in steering forces is perceived as a slight, brief resistance. After overcoming this brief resistance when steering out of the steering wheel center position, no permanent increase in steering forces is noticeable.

The document

The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.
