First of all, is your steering wheel straight?
is turning LEFT and RIGHT uses same amount of turns?

If the above is OK.
OK = NOT off by more then 2-4 Degree at the steering wheel.
OK = Both left and right takes the same amount of turns

go to the dealer and have them check the power steering rack or Torsion valve at the power steering rack.

It's hard to explain quickly in words how you can test if it's your torsion valve for the power steering rack or the rack seals itself. So I just suggest you go to the dealer.

I believe you are under warranty.
