*Voluntary Service Campaign ** Steering Lock Fix**
 

Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign on certain Model Year 2009-10 GT-R and 370Z vehicles to replace the Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) unit.

P3208 Campaign Announcement

Campaign Bulletin NTB13-014


This will start in Mid-March, people should receive mailers about this program around end of march.

Steering Locks availability will be limited, so expect to wait a little while.

Oh...and don't shoot the messenger.

Link(s)? I searched the Web using Google and DuckDuckGo for "Nissan NTB13-014" and "Nissan NTB 13-014" and came up with nada. :(


Edit: Oh, yeah. Thanks for posting this. :tiphat:

It is brand new so probably is only hitting the dealerships right now and everyone else next week probably.

I wonder how this will work for vehicles imported from the U.S.

Good to see them do something about it finally.

It's a little insulting at this point. WAY too late.

It will be official in Mid-March. Oh and your dealers probably won't know anything about it. So give it a little time.

You take your ball and go home! You don't even have a Z...:gtfo2:

Agreed. I'm glad they are finally doing what is right, but I won't forget how I was treated when my slu failed

You don't know that. :stirthepot::stirthepot:

And don't get me started on the ball. :excited:

awesome news. i linked this thread from my DIY.

thanks! :tup:

Sub'd. This is a big deal!

Does anyone know whether this will be a replacement or deletion? Being that all previous revs of the SLU have failed, IMNSHO, a replacement is not a fix.

Can I have my money back?

Finally good NEWS

It's worth asking 'em. They might say no, but they'll never say yes if you don't ask. It's possible they will contact you, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Edit: I'd wait until after the official announcement of the Voluntary Service Campaign before contacting Nissan.

Nissan told me a few weeks ago if it was recalled I would get a full refund for what I paid for the new slu

FINALLY!!!

MY SLU just failed the other day and I was calling to NIssan to make complaint when they informed me just 5 minutes ago that there is a recall for the dreaded SLU!!!! I can confirmed that the campaign is P3208 and already received a case number. I ordered by SLU online yesterday and will be reimbursed for it. Dealer will handle installation!

It's a celebration b1tches!

Wow, I'm so god damn happy,

WE WON!!!
Now everyone, put your steering lock fuse back in, and have Nissan fix it

I think I'll leave my fuse out and see how they handle it. :p

sub'd. :happydance:

Thank you Lou:tiphat:

Lol, maybe, but I want Nissan to lose money, and once my warranty is about to end again, I'll pull the fuse

(I even changed my signature)

Good point, I'm going on vacations in 2 weeks..... Ima ride it out hopefully by the time I get back ill have a check from Nissan-Azzholes!


Good to hear Nissan is FINALLY doing something, but it really should've been done 2 years ago.

finally Nissan!

I just got mine fixed today, with this recall notice awesome nissan. gg :tiphat:

Just called Nissan, as soon as I fax them my receipt I should be getting a check 😃

Was your dealership already aware of the campaign?

Yes they were pretty awesome.

Glad to hear Nissan is set up to handle this so soon.

If you just call your dealer and give them the VIN, they'll confirm a recall is posted against your vehicle. Looks like the info is already in their system, which actually means they've been researching the affected VIN's for a little while now (unless my complaining and case ID's resulted in my VIN being tagged early).

REALLY! Wow idk if I should call or wait until i come back from my vacation!

Thank you for this. I've sent my dealer an email requesting he order the parts so when I get home, (I'm in China) I can have the work done!

Thanks again!! Love this forum.

Towed to dealer and had my car back within a few hours, nismo back and running.

Replacement part used was D48700-JF00D.

having mine worked on right now before parts dry up. Hate having to bring a car in and get told we will need to order those part, o by the way the parts are out of stock and it might be a couple weeks.

I would like to applaud the efforts of those who have been hammering Nissan about this. I feel certain I speak for many others when I says "Thanks, y'all!". :tiphat:

I'm glad to see this got stickied. Waiting with bated breath for an official announcement from Nissan.

Can/will someone correct the spelling in the title of this thread? Camping -> Campaign.

Thank you for this.. Thought it might have something to do with the Peace Corps

Sub'd.

By fix it you mean have them replace a faulty steering lock with another faulty lock? No thanks, I'll leave my lock disengaged and not worry about dealing with the dealershit.

Maybe they have fixed the problem with the latest version of the SLU, but I have serious doubts. If the "fix" is just replacing the SLU, I'll put my fuse back in, get the latest and greatest SLU, and then pull the fuse again.

I'm not going to pretend to grok the system, but it looks to me like the BCM should be reflashed to ignore the SLU. Then the SLU can be removed completely.
