I had the work done last week to correct this issue. The parts took nearly two months to come from Japan and then we scheduled the work to coincide with a regular service. They replaced the electric power steering motor and the associated steering shaft components. They didn't tell me at the time, but it turned out that the work was so extensive they needed the car overnight, and then they broke a component associated with the drivers air bag reinstalling everything and had to wait for part come in, so we were without the car for over four days. Having said all that, the issue is no longer apparent and I'm hoping that it won't reoccur
