What's wrong: While the vehicle is stationary, unexpected steering wheel movement (rotation) may occur.

Why it matters: Unintended steering wheel movement while the vehicle is stationary increases the risk of an injury and on the road, a crash.

The fix: The steering system software will be updated, free of charge, either over-the-air (ota) or by a dealer. Owner notification letters were mailed February 6, 2026.
