Steering wheel/column clicking/knocking sound

[Dieselxx]

Hi guys/gals, wondering if anybody has had this issue, I could not find anything similar in the threads. 2023 hybrid XLT lux, received in Aug 2023.
I have a steering knocking/clicking sound directly from the horn or shaft area inside the car. It started happening in Nov 2023 as the cooler morning temperatures started. It happens on a daily basis but seems to go away as the car is driven/warms up.
Intermittent it seems.

I had the car at the dealer today for an oil change and two recalls (23c41,23p18).

Of course the dealer couldn't replicate and neither could I in their parking lot. The noise happens typically in the morning or when the car has been sitting. Happens in slow speed parking manoeuvres as well as backing up or with car stationary and turning the wheel.
I ruled out, keys dangling, floor mat touching steering shaft bolts and my jacket. Noise is not coming from under the car or suspension .Clock spring noise?
Turn up volume.
Any ideas?

Good afternoon! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.

Ever get this figured out? I don't have the audible click but not sure I've turned it that hard either direction but I have a scratching/scraping noise in mine on cool mornings. It almost sounds like a piece of paper is stuck between the wheel and column when I turn it. Goes away after I've been driving a bit.

No I have not. Would require me leaving the car at the dealer a few days as it's intermittent. The weather is warming up a bit. I'm living with it for now.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Boa noite, moro no Brasil e tenho um Maverick Lariat FX4 2023 com 2 meses de uso. Percebi esse barulho, levei na concessionária Ford e eles não sabem me dizer o que é e estão perdidos. O barulho está me deixando louco. Alguém descobriu o que é e como resolver?

Here’s the translation for the above post:

Good evening, I live in Brazil and I have a Maverick Lariat FX4 2023 with 2 months of use. I noticed this noise, I took it to the Ford dealership and they can't tell me what it is and they're lost. The noise is driving me crazy. Has anyone figured out what it is and how to solve it?

Did anyone here figure this out? My 23 Maverick JUST started making this exact noise. It's coming from where the steering column meets the floor board
