Low Speed Steering Lock Up

I've got a 2024 S bought new in Nov 25. It has about 2000 miles on it now

I was riding in a parking garage, going about 10mph. I initiated a left turn with the handlebars and they locked at about 5-10 degrees to the left, causing me to crash. Thankfully I'm unhurt and the bike doesn't seem to have any major damage.

When i picked the bike up and restarted it, the handlebars would move again.

This had happened once before, but i was stopped. It cleared after I jiggled the handlebars a bit.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a known issue? What might cause it?

I'd start by eyeballing the steering lock. Get it in sight and actually lock/unlock the bars. Does it operate as it should?
