Steering "Niggle/Nibble" is back?

Now that I have some miles on the truck, I have noticed the steering "nibble/niggle" appears to be back. I had this issue on my '09 Plat but no ton my 13...had though Ford had fixed this. Anyone else feel this: a very slight (but noticeable) play when you cross sharp bumps? Feels like there is 1/16th" play in the steering column. Back in the day (2009 time frame) several others had this same issue and even went as far as having Ford replace the entire steering rack unit with a new one (was internal to the R&P steering unit and it's not adjustable). IIRC, there was a particular part number you wanted for the replacement unit that didn't have the "nibble" issue. I checked my steering linkage yesterday and all appears tight...it really is annoying and I'm thinking of a trip to the dealer about this.

Anyone else notice this on the 2015/2016's or hear of a TSB for this? (didn't see it in the TSB list included here).
