FYI..... Another recall issued today for basically all 2013 and 2014 built VF's due to an issue with the Electric power steering system.

Everyone will start receiving letters in the mail over the next couple of weeks. It's due to a fault in the EPS electrical connection that can cause the power steering assistance to cut out and you lose power steering whilst driving. It's not a safety related recall so won't be publicised in the media....

The fix is to inject 5 to 10ml's of an electrical conductor into the harness for the EPS.

Yep and it takes them 1 hour to put the dielectric stuff on .

Today I was going up a nice twisty rd, I thought I'd flip it into sport mode I was giving it some stick all off a sudden 'performance mode activated' on the dash, it held revs higher for longer and when breaking it held high gears longer?
I've put it in sport mode before with this never happening?

Once I got away from the twisty's I put back into 'drive' but I felt like the ltr per 100 where still high? May have just been in my head!
It sorter freaked me out

Yeah I've had it once on my auto redline ute but it went back to normal after the corner, and dropped back down to below 10L/100km when in normal mode further down the road

Yeah it comes on in sports mode if you do a few full/close to full throttle bursts (its like sports+ but you engage by throttle behavior). From what I remember it does as you said: makes the trans hold gears longer and auto change down into lower gear keeping up high revs when you jump off the gas to come into a corner.
