Also got the email. On hold now to make a service appointment. These folks were probably hoping for a chill Friday night.

^half the forum right now ??

Lol.

Im assuming this came from these two incidents?

+1 just read it.

Got it too. Might take them a minute to answer the call in to schedule as they are experiencing extremely high call volume!

I can't imagine they won't be able to knock the torque check in a half hour or less.

Not surprising, we've seen the pictures of the rare separations....

RJs email seems to state we should call to schedule a mobile appointment.

RJ called me directly- I informed him I’m still a reservation holder…

Click
Haha. Just kidding.

This seems reminiscent of previous posts about the alignment issues sorta drifting to the right - no?

Love getting this as I'm on my first road trip with my family Only real option is to continue on and watch for catastrophic failure on the highway with my wife and three children in the car. No WAY I'm telling my wife about this. She would never ride in it again.

If this fixes that right biased pull, I will be extremely happy on Monday when mobile service comes out. I've been through two alignments and still have a hard pull to the right.

Received it too. Wish I didn't see the two photos above....now I'm paranoid...just towed on the highway at 75 mph....

Looks everyone is on hold to schedule an appointment...oh, love the notification timing too. Friday night we'll after business....

Same. Honestly, I’d be really happy if it turns out this is the cause. I just want it fixed and I want to have some confidence that it’ll stay fixed. Until we can identify ‘why’ we can’t gain that confidence.

If it were me I wouldn't panic or tell the wife. If you get a hint of anything wrong pull it over. But untill then enjoy the trip.

Same here. And they said they fixed it both times. My steering wheel has to be angled a little left to go straight. Or is that a sign that my tire is coming off like the recall says…

I can't believe somebody thought it would be a good idea to send this late Friday night. It least do it earlier in the week in the morning...

Show her the two pictures of the trucks with the wheels that fell off. Record her reaction and please post it here.

Mine does the same. They said a "software update" would be released to fix that. Not sure how they're going to fix a crooked steering wheel with a software update.

For what it’s worth Bellevue fixed my alignment issue first time so it can be fixed. After they did that though my low speed clicks/pops got a lot worse. Wonder if all three things are related.
