| Service Bulletin | 2017-09-27. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; STEERING.

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.
