If they are going to delete them then I for sure will take the time out to bring the car to the dealer. Weight reduction FTW!

EDIT: After looking at daisuke149's post again, I highly doubt they will opt for deleting them. It says clearly REPLACE the units, soo much for weight reduction I guess LOL. Although it would really make sense on Nissans part to just delete the damn things, less money spent and time for Nissan once the replaced units start failing like is bound to happen. Lets think logically here Nissan, come on!

Cheer up. I heard the new unit is 8oz lighter then the old one coz they use less oil on it.:p

Just received a phone call from consumer affairs executive office: P3208 issued to dealers today. 3 week investigation last month, hr long fight on the phone yesterday, and a couple nasty messages on facebook...finally happy.

So you payed for the repair and they are going to reimburse you?

Ughh..what is a P3208 ? Recall maybe...if so where is it posted on the web (Nissan's site) so I can recoup my $50 deductable on my recent extended warranty replacement.

CAMPAIGN ID #:
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2009 – 2010 370Z (Z34)
INTRODUCTION
P3208
2009 – 2011 GTR (R35)
Check Service COMM to confirm campaign eligibility.
Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the steering lock assembly on certain specific 2009 – 2010 model year 370Z and 2009 – 2011 model year GTR vehicles due to excessive oil within the assembly, which could cause the Body Control Module (BCM) to prevent the engine from starting when the ignition is cycled. This issue does not affect steering or engine operation when the vehicle is already running.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number P3208 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within range of this campaign that enter the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties, vehicles presented by transient (tourists) owners, and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory

Anyone in Canada have confirmation in this yet? I had time today to give my dealer a quick call and they couldn't find anything about this.

A week later took my Z in to get the hatch checked and the sevice representative replaced my steering lock. NTB13-14, PN-D8700-JF00D. I still have the fuse pulled and everything still works!

which fuse actually gets pulled? i read the original post but cant seem to locate it in the fuse box.

:facepalm: :p I assume you figured it out by now, but just in case...

Here's a pic of where it is plainly identified on the fuse box cover and then a pic of the fuse box with it removed:

We pulled the fuse today. Biggest issue we had was locating the fuse box and getting it out. On the 2010, it is located to the left of the battery and a number of pieces had to come off to get the box out.

The campaign letter for replacement
 

Here is the letter received in the mail.

They are all located there from 2009-2011

I also got this!! woohooo

What are they replacing it with? The new Z's don't have a lock. Another lock that will jam? No thanks. I cut the brown wire as soon as Fritz figured it out for us. When I get that letter, in the garbage it goes. I just hope the people who got screwed and paid out of pocket will get refunded.
