No steering wheel lock?

NissanParty · 01-08-2024, 07:54 PM

I don't think my car has a steering wheel lock. When the car is off, I can turn the wheel around. Is that bad? Do I need to lock the car to make the wheel lock?

What your is your car? Could be that the previous owner pulled the fuse out due to known lock failure that can be bypassed by pulling the fuse out.

2019, seems a little new to worry about lock failure... but I will check that.

I noticed that too. My Canadian spec 2016 Nismo came with no steering lock from new. Never bothered me. Actually I was quite relieved after the problems I went through with my previous car, a 2003 C5 Corvette. Trust me, no steering lock is a GOOD THING.

Yeah I don't think a steering wheel lock would prevent theft anyway. I was just surprised when I realized it had no lock. Maybe the newer ones don't have it? I have no idea.

I believe the 2012 and up models don't have steering wheel locks.
