Description of the problem	At around 90,000 miles i noticed a distinct clunk in the steering as the wheel unwound from sharp turns at slow speed. The clunk also showed up while driving straight on rough roads and under firm braking. This is apparently a known issue https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2013/sb-10075792-2280. Pdf. I have had the part replaced with the updated version, and the steering is now good again, but i expected something like to be covered in a safety recall.
