DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

elijahd94 · 03-08-2013, 11:42 AM

Dealer just called me this morning and said a service bulletin just crossed his desk saying the part has been recalled and I will owe nothing. My steering lock went out last week with 58000 miles on the car and was told it would be 985 plus tax. This is great news that the part was recalled saving me some serious cash!!

Great news ! Is it posted up somewhere on the RECALL ? As I would like to recoup my $50 deductable on my extended warranty.

I haven't seen an official announcement yet, but others are reporting that dealers are already taking care of it. Contact your dealer with your VIN. http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-w...ml#post2203773

I contacted my dealer during warrenty but pulled the fuse myself. I'm now out of warrenty. Since I contacted him during warrenty period, do you think Nissant will replace my part under the recall?

I haven't seen the official announcement yet, but they usually go by VIN; warranty status shouldn't be a factor. Your '09 should be covered.
