Aircraft
On takeoff from ZZZ; at approximately V1; aircraft pulled slightly left (perhaps 6-10 ft.). CA (Captain) suspected either wind gust; wake turbulence from preceding aircraft; or uneven pavement as the possible cause. Aircraft corrected back to centerline and normal takeoff and departure were made. Both CA and FO (First Officer) felt it was prudent however; to have the Tower observe the undercarriage before a landing was made just in case the cause was due to tire; nose gear; etc. so; as a precautionary measure; CA chose to make a low approach prior to landing for a visual inspection of the landing gear by the tower. As expected; no anomalies were seen by the Tower and subsequently a normal landing was made without incident or further issue. No further ground control issues were noted. A report was filed to ensure the company was aware of the reason for the low approach and since it appeared that ATC may have subsequently [given us priority handling] and had emergency vehicles standing by as a precaution. I became aware of possible FAA investigation via phone call from [Company]. Prior to this phone call; I was not aware of any potential non-compliance or outstanding issue for that flight. Therefore; no report was previously filed. Additionally; no maintenance write-up was made of this incident due to the fact that no known maintenance problem or repair was identified.Be aware of possible wake turbulence effects during t/o roll.Ensure Captain is made aware that [priority handling was given] by ATC; etc.
E-175 Captain reported becoming aware of possible FAA investigation regarding a low approach prior to full stop landing.
