## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, greater than expected force may need to be exerted in order to initiate turning of the steering handlebar from center position while underway.  Once handlebar turning is initiated, however, the resistance reduces and steering mechanism movement responds to operator inputs normally.  This higher than expected initial steering input force may cause the operator to overshoot a steering correction or turn, causing an unexpected deviation from the intended vehicle path.  This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the dynamic power steering \(DPS\) system.
