Last week I had the steering damper recall taken care of. Today I experienced the death wobble for the first time. Any reason to believe there is a connection?

Check to make sure they didn't install the new damper upside down. There is a sticker on it that has an arrow that say front. It should be on the bottom of the damper with the arrow pointing to the front bumper. The dealer instructions say it will not function properly and may damage the damper if installed upside down.

Had my V41 and TSB for loud cooling fan done today. Requested I watch mechanics perform work due to forum post and they said ok. Work was preformed correctly. I have not experienced any bad steering but wanted the new AE stabilizer. Have 13000 miles on OEM with zero problems.Check to make sure they didn't install the new damper upside down.

Do you have new AE actuator by V41 recall or just new OEM original or second generation AD model?Reason I asked is that I had mine replaced at 13k miles. I’m now at 32k and I’m staring to get a little oscillation—not full wobble. I’m going to have the damper replaced again before I run out of warranty.
My was an early 18 and replaced with ADDo you have new AE actuator by V41 recall or just new OEM original or second generation AD model?
V41 recall should apply to any 2018 with June 18 or before build date Recall latest generation actuator now use AE model Also recall allows for reimbursement if you have already replaced with after market equipmentMy was an early 18 and replaced with AD
