Yes, your R58 has a fully electric power steering motor. No fluids involved.

Good to hear you have the extended warranty.  Keep us updated on the results of the repairs by the dealer. Thanks!

Well thankfully I got an extended warranty when I bought it. Got a whining noise when turning. Read the power steering tends to go out prematurely.
