It appears that the Mercedes Vito is still having problems with the rear wheel steering even after the upgrade, it seems that the activators are still playing up even after KPM have upgraded the system as it appears that the activators are not part of the upgrade. One driver has reported that now his vehicle is out of warranty that KPM want over £400 + VAT to replace the activators and only offer a 3 month warranty with them!
Now if KPM are fitting new activators how can they get away with only offering a 3 month warranty on the parts? Surely all new parts carry a 12 month warranty, obviously KPM have no confidence in their own parts otherwise they would have no hesitation in offering 1 years warranty on these activators!
Im almost a year in,had two upgrades, total waste of time, still rear steer problem, Im going to write to Merc, to see what they have to say. I hope all drivers are aswell.

Kpm are a joke dealer, Arthur Daley comes to mind, this is one vehicle I won’t be buying again. Once bitten here’s to the day they go bust.
