Have mine booked in next Tuesday...Funny how you have to ask about it??
Had them check my VIN on my very very new WK2 and N58 update not done. Thought something like this would at least be done before delivery or require some sort of letter from Jeep..Glitch that effects ABS brakes & ESP would seem to be important.
