Just another data point: I was at the dealer for the clutch recall and oil change and, with a copy of the TSB in hand, I also complained about the steering. They didn't bat an eye and said they would put me on the list for parts. They even documented my complaint on the invoice with a note "Customer states the steering has a constant need for correction. As advised, please order upated steering gear. CONFIRMED CONTANT NEED FOR CORRECTION, SPECIAL ORDER STEERING GEAR" (this was in all caps.) Below that was the entry for the part order.

I was pleased that it didn't take much convincing on my part, but I'm not going to hold my breath on when this happens. They said they got a bunch of parts in last month, but still were nowhere near caught up. Could only tell me NOT to expect it within the next couple months.

Dealer told me today that they cant order the part until 20 Feb or later and quote ā€œcannot guarantee we will honor the TSB if you lift itā€.

good grief. šŸ™„šŸ™„
If the dealer gives you a tough time because of your lift, please let us know and we will start a case for you.

Canā€™t find where this may have already been covered so I apologize if it has.
My steering had always been what I felt was normal. Have had mine since June 2019.

steering Is feeling much sloppier, and seems to pull left on warm day. My local dealer has done multiple TSB repairs for the gearbox issue.

mine has been converted to a 6.4L with a AMW4x4 kit. My dealer seems to be fine with that and is still willing to complete the TSB For free.

Question is, with a whole new reprogrammed computer by AMW4x4, will they still be able to compete this job as normal without flashing my computer or doing anything that will mess up the programming for the 6.4L?

So this doesn't apply to 2021 models?
2021 models already have the latest/new steering gear and programming.
This TSB is only to take care of the issues with the aluminum housed steering gear used before August 14, 2020 - 2020 model year JT

Iā€™m at 26,000 miles and decided to get it done. It does wander and with wind can be a handful but every open top Jeep Iā€™ve owned has always done this. I am taking your word on this here so the Gladiator is dropped off to get the new steering box and reprogram in the am. Parts took 3 weeks to get. I canā€™t wait to see the difference.

My JT even has a friend to spend the night with.

Looks like the techs forgot to refill my power steering fluid. Reservoir is bone dry now. Could have been that way since it started or a slow leak over the last 2-3 weeks.

I will have to go to the dealership first think in the morning to refill. Already have a 30/40k mile maintenance scheduled Tuesday so I will have them check for damage to the pump then

I rescheduled my appointment yesterday to next Friday. I'm happy after hearing now that they do an alignment with the tsb. I got a bad vibe from my dealer though when I initially called about it. They said it has to go through a series of tests before it can be approved for the tsb and then they would have to give me a loaner car while waiting for parts and its a half day of labor. I don't understand.. they changed all JL/JT steering gear boxes on all future models so that obviously proves they knew something was wrong so why do we have to fight just to get this done ?
