Steering lock problem solved (for real)

Does this mean, what I think it means?

If it does and the dealer replaces the lock on my '09 with a newer revision, I think I would still re-install my bypass harness after they were done. I don't know that I would trust the thing not to fail another year or two down the road.

Good point, lol.

That's what I'm saying. I mean, they don't have one out that is 100% known NOT to fail, correct? No matter what Rev it is, I'm pretty sure they all have a history of failing. So they're essentially going to replace your lock with another one that can still fail, free of charge at least. This is unless they recently came out with a new Rev that is fail proof. Either way, I'm still glad I cut my wire a couple weeks ago. Won't have to spend the time at a dealer for this campaign and wont have to worry about the new one they put in failing.

Yep. I hope Nissan decides to delete the SLUs (two screws and a BCM reflash), not replace them.

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.

Hmmmm. Searched the Web for "Nissan ESCL" and found:
Service Campaign -- Electronic Steering Column Lock - Nissan Cube Car Forums - "recall" for Cube
Omer Ulu - Design Release Engineer ... - Los Angeles, CA | Indeed.com - some guy that worked on the SLU.
