Condition: Driver may notice a “clicking” or “thud” noise when turning the steering wheel.
Solution: The motor driver power steering (MDPS) assembly contains a flexible rubber coupling that wears out over time. Wear of the coupling does not affect the ability to steer or control the vehicle.
Parts: The revised part number is 56315-2K0000-FFF. The updated part offers increased durability.
Replacement Tip: Clean out the coupling seating areas between the motor and column with compressed air so the new flexible coupling will seat.
