Apparently a New TSB came out today for Loose Steering

Its more to do with the Programming than Box, but you still need the AE Box.

hmm, I'm pretty happy with my steering since the AE box was installed, but I wonder what this flash does? there is no symptom description on the TSB...

Well we have some VERY bad news for FCA. Our 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited was built 8/2019 and has ALL the latest software and the AE steering box and has been to 4 Jeep dealers and ALL 4 dealers have stated that there is nothing that can be done to correct our loose steering, and that "FCA is aware of the problem". The final dealer told us to "safely" take our Jeep home and "park it"!!

We did just that and retained a top legal firm.

Interesting they are adding a sales code 5SY -- I can't find that one anywhere.

Maybe there is a possible path here for you.....

have the dealer replace the steering pump (if not replaced already) and then apply the software fix outlined in this TSB.

if the pump was already replaced, this software is supposed to improve steering.

Is the AE steering box the "steering gear" or the "pump" referenced in the TSB? trying to see if this is applicable to me. Thanks in advance

Yes, steering gear is the box, with the AE rev being July 2019 onward.

Thanks - if I had the pump changed there would be no reason to do this

For those that have 2020's which come with the AE box, does this TSB not pertain to us?

 

[HoundDude]

note that the TSB makes no mention of steering gear version, just that it (or pump) was replaced for any reason on an 18 or 19 4-door. It sounds like there was a bug in their computer system that selects the correct version of EHPS software to flash following new steering gear install.

This applies to me , had AE installed. I’ll let you know this week if it makes any improvements..... probably not I’m betting. As temperature sensitive this box is , it’s a hardware issue not software. 1/4 inch play when it’s 30f and 20 minutes later 1.5 inches.

please keep us updated @Vezfly

Interesting that’s its long wheelbase only.

Hey guys I am new to the Jeep and I am running a Terflex ST2 lift with Falcon 3.3's. I have a Synergy track bar and track/ sector shaft brace on the way for my 19 Rubicon. I haven't had any steering issues or anything recalls on my vin number. Is there anything I have to do with this service bulletin?
