Steering Column Issues Requiring Replacement
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
| Range Rover (LM) | |
|---|---|
| Model Year: | 2003-2009 |
| VIN: | 3A101029-9A306625 |
MARKETS:
NAS
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: The steering column may require replacement due to certain issues or damage.
Cause: This may be caused by one or more of the following:
- Inoperative tilt mechanism;
- Steering column lock mechanism issue;
- Reach spindle thread damage; and/or
- Rotational ‘click’ noises attributed to internal steering column bearings.
NOTE: For VINs 3A101029-6A216926: if the vehicle has not been updated as part of former Service Action SB028 and the steering column tilt mechanism faults when the tilt motor reaches the full extent of upward travel, an upgrade kit is available. Refer to SB028NAS3 on TOPIx for details.
NOTE: ‘Noisy’ tilt mechanism motors should NOT require replacement of the steering column assembly. A ‘noisy’ tilt mechanism motor should be rectified by installing a tilt motor repair kit (QME500070) in accordance to Technical Bulletin 57/01/03/NAS (issue 2 or later).
Action: If the issues reported with the steering column are not repairable using Technical Bulletins: SB028NAS3, ‘Steering Column Tilt Mechanism Upgrade’; 57/01/03/NAS (issue 2 or later), ‘Tilt Motor Mechanism Binding at Top Position’; 57/04/05/NAS, ‘Steering Column Reach Motor Jamming’; and/or 57/05/05/NAS (issue 2 or later), ‘Steering Column Reach Motor Noise’, refer to the Service Instruction outlined below.
PARTS:
NOTE: New steering columns below have the full upward tilt angle reduced by 0.5 degrees. New columns will be supplied without the steering angle sensor to reduce parts complexity.
NOTE: Part number QMB000165 DOES NOT need to reworked with the spacer kit; these may have been supplied under warranty instead of the ordered QMB500711 part until it became available. Part number QMB000165 has been built to the new specification with a long tilt spindle nut and DOES NOT require the spacer kit to be installed.

JLR Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) for Independent Repairers: Diagnostic Software / Module programming subscriptions – without security access – can be purchased via TOPIx (From the User ID – Options Menu – Programming subscriptions – click add). Module programming – with security access – is necessary to program the IPC, BCM, ECM (PCM), KVM, as well as keys. Licensed locksmiths and independent repairers must be active members of the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) Vehicle Security Professional (VSP) registry and will need to purchase a subscription to Independent Module Programming with Security Access to program these components. Currently we are only able to support yearly module programming subscriptions with security access. SDD will only support Jaguar vehicles built from 1995 MY onward.
