ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

^ Only if your car is still under warranty. I would pull the fuse even after the recall. There has to be a reason why the late 2011 - current Zs don't have a SLU.

I haven't received my recall notice yet but called my service mgr, gave him he recall number, P3208, and he took it from there. I took it in today and the unit was replaced in less than an hour at N/C. Mine had never indicated a problem and hope it doesn't now that it has been changed. I think they have a list of VIN's the recall affects. It was an easy trip to the dealer.

My dealer left me a VM today about the recall.

My SL is a D. It's also broken. My 2nd one. Fuse is out.

Guess when I go in for the recall I'll take my 10amp fuse and tell them to put it in while replacing the SL.

I'll just take the fuse out again after. This will be my 3rd SL lols.

I just called my dealer to schedule an appointment and when he ran my VIN he says mine is not affected. Anyway for me to check he isn't handing me a line. Mine is a 6/10 build.

I haven't seen the list of affected VINs, but it is my understanding that the recall is for all 2009-2010 370Zs. Call another dealer and ask.

icedog2g · 03-20-2013, 10:30 AM

Mine is also a 6/10 build and I called 2 dealers in my area with the VIN number and I also called Nissan customer service and no recall for my vehicle.

Looks like I misunderstood.

Just a wild guess, but it could be that your Z came with a Rev D ESCL (SLU). You might want to look at the ESCL label and check. If it's not a Rev D, pitch a fit with Nissan.

b15 · 03-20-2013, 03:02 PM

Even with a Rev D I would still pull the fuse. I haven't called the dealer yet, but I have an 08/10 build 2010 with the Rev C so if your 06/10 wasn't under the recall, I doubt mine is either.

ZForce · 03-20-2013, 04:10 PM

Call NNA

ayrton88 · 03-20-2013, 04:50 PM

I called Nissan of North America and gave them my VIN. They confirmed no recall for my 6/10 build. I haven't checked the Rev yet. Where is it located? I did get a case # from the guy I spoke to, and his name, just in case anything happens. He also took all my information and I am on record with an inquiry. Seemed like a decent guy, but I don't trust any corporations.

icedog2g · 03-20-2013, 05:13 PM

It's attached underneath to the steering wheel column. You gonna have to get on your knees and squeeze under to see with a flashlight. You looking for a grayish looking box with a white label with letters and numbers and something should stand out that reads 48700-JF00C.

superz · 03-21-2013, 03:03 PM

I have a 2009 sport touring. Would not start had to be towed. No recall that I have seen.

tanamerra · 03-21-2013, 06:56 PM

Received recall notice today for my 2010 Nismo. Had installed the bypass harness awhile ago since i had the C revision but will have the dealer replace the locking device anyway but will still use the bypass harness for peace of mind.

mults · 03-21-2013, 07:06 PM

Mine showed up today. All I have to do is take it out of storage before I make my appointment. With a few inches of snow today, I guess that I will have to wait a while. I'll still call to have them save me one.

Jimmyusmc · 03-22-2013, 01:56 AM

Do I have to put the fuse back in before intake it in to the dealer? Or will they do it?
