AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
CONDITION SUMMARY:
POWER STEERING SYSTEM SQUEAKING NOISE
Situation:
On some S-Type, X-Type and XJ Range vehicles within the VIN ranges above, a squeaking noise may be apparent from the power assisted steering
system when the steering wheel is rotated in either direction. The noise is caused by a seal inside the steering rack. The noise can be transmitted through
the steering column and steering wheel, making it difficult to diagnose. This bulletin does not address any other PAS noises, such as pump or drive belt
related noises.
Action:
In the case of a verified customer complaint matching the description above, refer to the Repair Procedure detailed in this bulletin and complete the
service fix.
