This is true for many other MY's, not only the 2010/2011 makes.
It manifests itself at first as a gearshift lever rattle; the ball at the lower end of the gear stick starts knocking inside the joint when the engine is idling, noticed while waiting at red traffic lights for example.
You think that the grease has dried up but re-lubricating the ball joint does not solve the problem.
Nice to see it can be simply solved by tightening to specific torques.
Thanks for sharing!
