i have a 6MT, NBP and when i first got it from the dealer, it used to pull to the right during braking. I got the high performance tire package. Which was completely useless because i swapped out the tires after a few months to prepare for the snow. Other than that, I love my TL. No problems as of yet (knock on wood). I hope you enjoy yours!

Keep Right Except to Pass
Welcome to the forum.
I have an '04 6MT with 28,000 miles. Had it in for servicing last Thursday, including a rotation, and I had them perform the portion TSB 05-050 involving replacement of the rear bump stops followed by an alignment. In the four days since then on which I've driven the car, I've noticed that there is a little more pulling than what I experienced before. Drove my other car today (for other reasons), so tomorrow morning I think I'm going to check the tyre pressure all the way around and adjust it as needed—wouldn't be surprised if it's off following a rotation.
Since yours is a brand-new car, you should be able to get them to centre the steering wheel at no charge. First, determine whether the car is pulling to one side or the other, or whether it's just a case of the wheel being off-centre (i.e., it still tracks straight, you just have to hold the wheel at an angle). If it's the former, something else may be wrong. If it's the latter, just tell them that you want the steering wheel centred; you might have to let them take it for a drive to verify the complaint, which is legitimate on their part.
