Where did one year come from? Do it now.

Well the reason I'm waiting is because if they do recall the part and I have to go to the dealer what I'm I going to say when they see the fuse missing or the wired cut?? The warranty for the replaced part is for a year, so I want to leave it there in case the lock fails again, then after the year I can pull it.

Also the replace steering lock is the D version, I believe that's the one that should have no problems.

Also I'm scare

Tell them you pulled the fuse because the steering like is a POS. I think it was removed from the later models entirely. Don't see why they would have any problem with it, also the fuse is not exactly easily accessible.

If they do have a problem, find another dealer.

The ONLY potential issue I see is with the insurance company if the car gets stolen.

Nooooooooooo! Lol maybe, maybe not. I don't see why it's a big deal I want to wait until the warranty for the steering lock expires.

man up, worse case is you put the fuse back and take it in for warranty work, the car doesnt have the monitor everything box like the GTR has so really there is no risk to pulling a fuse
