The low down that I got from my Nissan guy is that unofficially Nissan has placed these steering locks on restricted order to hold on to the remaining number they have and are waiting for yours to fail then you take it to the dealer they determine that the steering lock is the cause then they send all the info to Nissan and when Nissan gives the dealer approval then Nissan will release the part to your dealer.

The only way my Nissan guy could get me mine is I had to give him my Vin#,name,year,make,model of car then he called me back an hour later b/c he had to get approval from Nissan before he could sell it to me.

I wish I could remember the exact website, but the federal Site for recalls has a form we can fill out to complain about issues. If enough of us do it (especially with the GT-R recall) we could force Nissan to do the right thing.

I got a call this morning from my Nissan dealer telling me the part has arrived. I am waiting until Monday to take her in for the repair because Mondays are when the paintless dent guy is in and I am getting that annoying little dimple in my roof removed at the same time.

They also confirmed that the mechanism is Rev D.
