Steering column locked message

Know it's probably been covered before, but info centre kept saying steering column locked whilst driving tonight. Minor glitch or potential prob? Does car need a software update? Cheers.

I had this message appear last year whilst towing my caravan on an auto-route in France.
I ended up with new dash & steering column , this just adds to the lists of bits replaced. was still under warranty as i gather it was a £1600 job !

There was no need for that... Just an update of the Instrument Cluster firmware...
Quote from Tech Bulletin no. 290:
The Central Junction Box (CJB) periodically checks the status of steering column lock by polling the instrument cluster. On occasions, the instrument cluster does not respond appropriately and this may lead to the erroneous message Steering Column Locked being displayed even though the steering column is unlocked and functioning normally.

Update didnt fix mine !
Mine ended up with 4 instrument packs and a column before it was fixed ! absolute junk. l/R or the dealer should be proud of themselves for such rubbish.
Worst car I have ever owned in my life ! junk junk junk. Rolling with laughter

looks like you will be in the market for the Jaguar SUV that will be coming out eventually.
