Thanks for the quick response. I have read that there is a huge backlog for this part in the USA. Maybe I will get lucky.
I did have the orange brake indication and DSC orange triangle in a circle. I did not immediately recognize it as theh DSC warning symbol,, as I had not seen it before. No brake, steering or other malfunctions that I am aware of. My wife was driving at the time. Sure sounds like SZL sensor module. Hope the part availability has improved or that my dealer has a few squirreled away.

Thanks for the encouragement.
Yup, there was natioanl back order on all SZL's about a month ago i believe, that's why there was a 17 day wait. I'm sure all dealers have them in stock

You might cause there is no backlog in Turkey but I waited 17 dayz for the part to arrive and Germany is much more closert than it is to US
I'm only 2 hours from the factory and that hasn't helped me... sigh!

Don't worry, you should notice some steering malfunction as I have over the past week. Brought it into the dealer about 2 weeks ago (and waiting), and now my steering is very stiff when turning and my turn signals need to be turned off manually... after exiting a turn. This friggin sucks. Only 3k miles on the car!

Same symtoms, getting sensor replaced on Monday, dealer said he's lost count of number of sensor's they've replaced. I was informed of this problem the day I bought the car.
