They did exactly what the service bulletin called for
Both half shafts plus clevis mount
Car way better now
How long did it take To do the repair?
Thank you my nov 2016 built X90d will have that repair done aug. 7The TSB says that it is a two hour repair. (Slightly longer for the Model X.)
Me too but still occasionally happens. Brought it to SC attention twice and tech felt it but they did nothing (yet)Wow great find by the OP.
Unfortunately mine hasn't shuddered since the last update. It used to do it regularly. Go figure.
Just my one mouse opinion, even though this isn't a greatly difficult task to perform, it is still a little time consuming and requires replacing a bunch of parts and adjustments. If I were to have this issue, I'd wait a little while to let guys get a little bit more experience doing a change like this before taking in my car.... no matter how long I might have waited or how bad I want it.
Yup, I watched one being done on an X (not mine) down in southern California. It took 2 guys some of the time, and mostly one guy about 4 hours, including time he was scratching his head and asking questions. That is why I was thinking ok he needs a bit more experience at this. I would hope the front end doesn't fall out at interstate speeds when he is done. Ok, that is obviously an exaggeration of my interpretation, but still, I think I would like someone whom has done a few of these prior to working on my car if it were mine.The TSB says that it is a two hour repair. (Slightly longer for the Model X.)
yes, agree. But I think it depends on which shop is doing it and if the tech is new. Based on what I personally observed. Most of those guys are fabulous.They have done many half-shaft replacements trying to resolve this in the past, the only new parts is the clevis mount, which looks very simple. I wouldn't worry about it...

All great points. In my case, I would know precisely who is going to work on it and how much experience he has. No don't ask. I will have to kill you. Happen to know that in many cases (not all) that particular people are assigned to particular tasks. But yea, you got it. Some times just a roll of the dice as to who does it.But how would you ever know that? It isn't like scheduling a surgery with a doctor, you get whatever tech they assign to your car. It could be a rookie that they are training vs. a person that has done a hundred of them at a given service center.
Shoot the TSB looked so complete that I think I could do it with those instructions. Of course it would take me way more than 2 hours...

How did you find this? All I can do in the NHTSA site is lookup recalls.
Is this a free update for cars out of warranty?
