On vin built date says 2/11 and under the steering lock the serial number is 48700 JF00D B1 01 . so looks like I will be okay right? lol .

i haven't taken apart a revC and revD so i can't say for sure if the RevD is the sound solution or not.

i think best way is to disable it by fritz's brown wire cut, or baer's fuse pull before anything happens. that will for sure (from wat's been reported so far) completely eliminate the possiblity of a steering lock failure.

before one does anything BE SURE to read the instructions on how to do the above trick. the car MUST be in ACC (or ON) when the operation is done. gl!
