They landed back 25 minutes after take off. That’s not a lot of time to DODAR/GRADE the malfunction, which has been an issue for years on the A320 and has often been attributed to a fault in the Brake Steering Control Unit (BSCU).

A BSCU fault incident:

I like the comment in the Simple Flying article:

The aircraft involved will also need to undergo maintenance and repairs before returning to service.

There’s a surprise! The runway too judging from the picture.

This has happened to A320s before... 2005, Jet Blue BUR-JFK knew immediately after takeoff that there was a NG issue, burned fuel for three hours before heading into LAX.
