Steering Column problems of the 2014 Toyota Sienna

I had the vehicle inspected by personal mechanic because the steering wheel would tighten and then release whenever turned to right and release on left turn. This would happen on a regular basis when turning the wheel. The mechanic did recommend that I called the manufacturer to check if there was any recall for the problem. Which I did. Respond was no and so I explained the problem to the representative. There is not a failure or incident except the steering wheel keeps on tightening and I'm just being cautious. No manufacturer, police, or insurance has inspected it because there is no accident. Thank god! just concerned because my mechanic said it is something for the dealership. Something to do possibly within the steering column/channel component. Not sure which is right, but to check for recall by manufacturer. I took it to tire kingdom but something else was repaired. So I'm still having trouble with steering wheel stiff tightening up lightly. I would feel it tighten whenever driving 45 miles or more.
