I have this same problem now. Feels like something catches when turning a corner at slow speed and then bringing the wheel back to center. Better get them to look at it.

The new bracket was fouling on the bolt of the steering shaft uni joint as the engine moved during higher revs.
Dealer obviously didn't do a test drive after working on the vehicle.

yes this is after the turbo hose recall

Hose bracket seems non existant but this is the problem hose nearly worn through by knuckle bolt

So this is AFTER you've had the latest "new bracket" fitted?
Looking at the 2nd image, which shows the bracket fitted to the alternator, I can't see the part of the fix that is supposed to fit around the hose, attaching to the alternator bracket, pulling it away from the steering shaft?
Pickles.
