I think I have a case against Nissan - Steering lock fuse

mayday813 · 01-09-2013, 08:13 PM

Here's a list of the affected VIN's for 2011 and 2012 370Z Coupes per NTB12-41:

370Z 2011 VIN's after JN1AZ4EH(*)BM 551888 before JN1AZ4EH(*)BM 555448
2012 VIN's after JN1AZ4EH(*)CM 560001 before JN1AZ4EH(*)CM 560470

This would seem to infer that some 2012's have the steering lock installed. I've got and early 2011 with Rev E steering lock. I pulled the fuse.

Is it possible to create a post and have members sign the list? Perhaps with enough "signitures" as well as multiple posts showing this issue Nissan might take more action.

I saw that post. I'm talking about something where we can all sign up. Kind of like a petition for Nissan to fix this. The current post is only for those who have had the problem and it's not even a full list. I'm thinking a petition list in conjunction with every post created so far regarding the issue might be enough for Nissan to do something. Especially if we could coordinate with the GTR and maxima members on their boards.

Does anyone actually know what the reprogramming of the BCM listed in the TSB accomplishes? Does it unlock the steering lock permanently or what?

This concerns me, for I took it in to Nissan on normal maintenance and they said I was not affected and my vin is 560069

Guess I will have to call Nissan and get some more information on this...
