Default How many have replaced steering lock under recall?

I just received the notice from Nissan on the steering wheel lock. I pulled the fuse on mine the day after I bought the car and don't see any reason to bring my car to the dealer for a replacement part.

How many of you who have pulled the fuse have had theirs replaced?

Should I have mine replaced?

Had mine replaced as soon as I saw the notice on here but I never got around to pulling the fuse before that.

Threw my notice in the garbage. Not worth my time to have my good disabled lock replaced with the same faulty one.

HOW MANY MORE STEERING LOCK THREADS ARE THERE GOING TO BE. GEEZ.

We get it! There's been a lot of issues with this and yes there is a recall. I just didn't think that every single person was going to post about it. Better yet let's start a another thread. "How many have had there oil changed at the dealer". Enough already. And no, no one pissed in my Cheerios this morning.

When I took the Z out of storage last week to get it ready for Spring the dreaded key light was on and it wouldn't start. The same day I got the recall letter in the mail and made an appointment at the dealership (great timing). Thank god I visit the forums because I saw that if you tap the steerling wheel lock, you might get it to start once or twice. Lucky for me it started and I got it to the dealership without needing a tow.

Took them about a week to get the part but they installed in with REV-D and everything works fine.

I got my notice about a month ago but I pulled my fuse awhile back, I don't see a point in getting a new one installed. I wish I could cash in on the recall though as a credit or something

Got mine done couple weeks ago. Plan to now pull fuse and replace fuse if I ever sell. In case of eventual sale, I don't want a new owner to not have the benefit of the fix. Besides, I got a free hand car wash out of it!

Just took my to the dealer this morning and found out mine wasn't included in the campaign. Guess my build date of June 2010 already had the fix.

Mine was a June 2010 build also, and not part of the recall. I still don't trust it not to fail.
