Steering lock problem solved (for real)

JARblue

First, Rev D is the last revision, and the same one that is being used for replacement in this recall. Even if you were in the US, I don't believe you would be on the recall list; I have an early 2011 with Rev D, and I am not. Even so, I maintain this is a half-a$$ed recall because there are people who already had their ESCL (commonly referred to as SLU) replaced with a Rev D model which failed as well. I have already pulled my fuse and have no reason to put it back in. If I were in the recall, I would put my fuse back in, take it to the dealer for replacement, and then pull the fuse again, and all just so Nissan has to pay for it.

Second, I would absolutely familiarize yourself with the laws and or insurance policies relating to the steering lock in your region (France) before you mess with anything yourself. For example, would pulling the fuse be a violation of law? Or could it perhaps void your insurance coverage in some scenario?

Third, you may call or visit a dealership and see what ESCL Revision the 2013 models have (or even the 2014s when they start showing up). Is it the same or different from yours? I was under the impression that late 2011 models and later did not have an ESCL at all (in North America, at least).
