IT happens to several of my cars including Germans due to road crowns when braking hard and no hands on steering wheel. Its normal. Just have the alignment checked, Some tires are more prone to making the steering wheel move on crowned roads then other tires. I would have them check to make sure the front wheels are toed-in with equal caster on both sides to eliminate the pull.

I had posted this same issue after I had my alignment done once I mounted the Swift Sport Springs:

The Tech at the alignment shop also said that there was a Lexus part that we could order to correct and adjust the caster.
