Concern

SRPC2404 – Backup function of steering software

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles the backup function of the steering software might not meet specifications. As a result the steering power support might be impaired and a loss of steerability cannot be ruled out.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Update the software of the electric steering on the affected vehicles.

What changed since we first read it
