Strange Steering issue following 2023.2.10 update

[leon morley]

I updated the software to 2023.2.10 last week, and ever since have had an issue with the steering. When stationary and the steering is in the central position, I am feeling resistance and clicks when turning the steering slight left or right. Tyres are fine as I have checked those for issues. Also, when attempting to drive in a straight line, the steering cannot sit in the centre. It seems to be either click slightly left or slightly right. Anyone else have this issue?

I have booked into the service department on Friday, but have a 3 hour trip to Manchester tomorrow and and a bit wary. I have spoken to service on the phone and they have said there are no diagnostic issues in the logs for the car.

Looks like a known issue too: Steering wheel not able to drive straight

You're using the word "click" - is it mechanical or electrical? Would a better term be twitch or jitter? Does it feel like the wheel is being turned by something else?

It doesn't sound like a click, but more feels like one. It feels like turning a rotating bezel on a watch. It moves in stages rather than smoothly.

That sounds like some kind of unintended electronic detent. Like the steering wheel motor is applying autopilot resistance when it's not supposed to.

I suspect you could be correct.

I am having the same problem on my new Y, what did the problem end up being? Thanks!
