Yes, it is a scare tactic to get you back to the dealer, but IMO it isnt necessary or even done.
Right, except if your read his first post, he states the steering wheel is significantly off which would suggest the calibration is off by an amount that would require a recalibration of the steering wheel angle sensor to the wheels, right?
