Steering Lock Elimination

Vince · 03-04-2012, 03:02 PM

Okay, so we know Nissan eliminated the steering lock for 2012 models. But, I think they may have actually done away with it beginning in 03/11 for 2011 also.

10/08 - 03/11:

03/11 - current:

Can somebody that has a 2011 manufactured 04/11 or later check to see if they have the lock? My bad if this has already been covered.

I have an 11, not sure when it was made, let me go check, brb.

Edit: actually nevermind, I got mine before that date lol

Ron · 03-04-2012, 03:13 PM

What is part number 68632S?

KORRUPT · 03-04-2012, 06:48 PM

I would be curious with what they did instead of the lock mechanism and see if it could be retrofitted to the earlier models.
