Default Power steering issue

I was wondering if anybody else had this issue, I did a search without any applicable results.

When turning the steering wheel with the car either not moving or moving very slowly, the steering shakes

Was there ever a recall concerning the power steering?

Check PS fluid level and the drive belt tension (assuming it's belt driven, I haven't looked)

What you describe is normal slip-stick behavior of the wide tires. Its worse on some sorts of paving than on others.

Default Updated hose

There is supposed to be an updated p/steering hose released during June for this issue. They have tried a few and it has repaired them, no stock yet and no part number released. Doesn't happen on all of the cars.
