weird thing with side mirrors / reversing - TSB memory seats?

[nashvegas]

I noticed on my new to me 05 HSE that the mirrors that dip in reverse are sometimes remaining in the dipped position when i'm driving, or out of position and go to some other random position. I can of course adjust but its annoying to do that after every time you back up or put the truck in reverse.

The car was bought from a LR dealer as a CPO car and has warranty for another year or so.

Anyways, I read this TSB (below) that looks like the cause. If I bring the truck into the dealer at some point (next oil change or whatever) and tell them about this, will it be covered under the LR CPO warranty?



Automatic Side Mirror Dipping Feature
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Land Rover LR3 (LA) VIN: 5A300360 to 7A427985
Range Rover Sport (LS) VIN: 6A900129 to 7A999465
Equipped with memory seats
CONDITION SUMMARY:
MIRROR DOES NOT MOVE IN ANTICIPATED PATTERNS
Situation: Some sequences of ignition cycles/gear positions (involving reverse) can cause the control software within the seat module to become confused and lose the mirror memory position, or learn an incorrect driving position. A customer may complain of any of the following conditions:
• Memory mirrors are in the incorrect position after unlocking and entering the vehicle.
• Memory mirrors are not returning to their correct driving position after a reverse maneuver has been completed and the gear selector has been moved out of reverse.
• On vehicles with the 'Lazy Entry' feature enabled, the following sequence will result in the mirrors incorrectly moving to the dipped position:
> Ignition 'ON'.
> Select reverse gear - mirrors move to dipped position.
> Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary.
> De-select reverse gear - mirrors move to driving position.
> Lock the vehicle.
> Unlock the vehicle - mirrors move to the dipped position (INCORRECT).
• On vehicles with the 'Lazy Entry' feature enabled, the normal driving position may drift if the following sequence is repeated for a number of cycles:
> Ignition 'ON'.
> Select reverse gear (mirrors move to dipped position).
> Deselect reverse gear (mirrors move to driving position).
> Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary - key-in - key-out.
> Lock the vehicle.
> Unlock the vehicle.
> Key in - auxiliary.
NOTE: The mirrors may be repositioned using the normal mirror adjustment functionality.
Action: Should a customer express concern, install a new driver seat module following the Repair Procedure in this bulletin.

I had this TSB performed on my vehicle which is under the standard warranty no problem. Since the CPO warranty is just an extension of that, I don't see why it wouldn't be covered (after you pay the $100 deductible of course.)

This is an old thread, I applogize, but wanted to see if nashvegas got his fixed. We're having this issue and I need to make time to take it into the dealer.

Nope -- didnt get it fixed. In the settings via the turn signal stalk, I turned _off_ "lazy entry" but left _on_ "mirror dip reverse" and its not that bad now. Actually it hasn't had a problem in a few months, whereas it used to happen every single time. Reading on UK and RRsport forums it seems like turning lazy entry off really helps.

But I decided to throw in the towel after reading that it was happening to people who got the TSB performed and their seat memory modules replaced.

Thanks for the info. Will have to look into my settings.
