Question about power steering

Took delivery on 5/31 and it's been a terrific 8000 miles.

As with many garages, my MS fits snugly into the one-car garage. When I back out, I have to make some sharp turns to get it out of the driveway. I noticed that if I back out really slowly and turn the wheel hard in one direction, I hear small popping noises not only in reverse, but also going forward. When I don't turn it as hard or go a little faster I don't hear the pops. There's no issue with driving dynamics or turning radius or anything. Anyone hear of this issue before?

There were/are reports of "clicking" when turning the steering wheel for some folks that the service center should be able to fix.
