AFFECTED RANGE:

All vehicles

PROBLEM:

STEERING WHEEL OFFSET IN LOW SUSPENSION PROFILE

CAUSE:

When speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 km/h) are sustained, the air suspension will automatically lower the vehicle to the ‘Low’ ride height setting.

As the suspension geometry changes to the ‘Low’ setting, the steering wheel will rotate two degrees (2°) to the right.

ACTION:

Do not attempt to rectify this condition.

Steering wheel alignment can only be checked/reset with the suspension in ‘Standard’ profile height setting.

In the event of customer complaint, explain that there is no fault and that this effect is normal for a vehicle with adjustable ride height.

PARTS INFORMATION:

Not applicable

WARRANTY CLAIMS: Not applicable

Steering wheel alignment - check and adjust if required, is part of the Pre Delivery Inspection. Item 41 - PDI Check Sheet refers.

Warranty Claims are therefore not acceptable.
