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

3.7 ZPA · 03-29-2013, 04:54 PM

The work was done in about two hours, and that was the recall and an oil change. The dealership was very helpful. Saw a brand new 2013 still in plastic.

Just an update. I called Nissan about this recall today and it does not apply to my 2010. I have an 08/10 build with Rev C in it. I believe there were a couple others that had 06/10 builds that this recall didn't cover either. I'm not concerned as I have my fuse pulled- but wanted to let you guys know it apparently does not apply to all 2010 Zs.

I have no idea when when build of my 2010 z. But I bought it around 04/2010 and my car was in a list of recall.

Yours was probably built in 09 or very early 2010. Build date is on the sticker in the door.

Went into dealer for steering lock recall . Takes 45 min for install . Life is good

OldGuy · 04-12-2013, 06:32 AM

Had mine done yesterday, too. 1:00 hour there, as they also put in the new rear hatch springs they had been holding all winter for me while I was away. Two problems solved and a hand car wash---all on Nissan's tab. Very nice.

Thought people had the car lock on them even after the recall and that pulling the fuse was advisable?

Yes. I just had my steering lock replaced as well but it's only a matter of time until the new part fails, so I'm pulling the fuse anyway. I just wanted the new steering lock to potentially help the value when I sell in the future. Plus why not, it's free under warranty.

What version of steering lock does the dealer install?

OMG god. I thought these threads were over. No offense.

Hello everyone! I'm one of those guys driving an 90' Z who was affected by the SL failure. I was "lucky" and managed to knock it back into place by hitting it with a hammer, then cut the brown wire. This was before the fuse idea was discovered.

I just today received my recall notice for the SL unit, advising me to go in to the dealer and get it replaced.

My question: Because I've cut the brown wire, is this something that Nissan is going to give me hassle about when I go in to get it replaced?

Thanks!

Depends on the dealer. If you get a lot of static at one, go try another.
