You know I made that "pulling the fuse" thread to help people to avoid spending allot of money on this and I guess it is falling on deaf ears cause a ton of people are not doing it,I guess they think it won't happen to them.

Has anyone with the Rev E steering lock installation had a failure? It seems most the failures have occurred on 2009 and 2010 models, any failures on 2011 models?

They don't make a "E" lock the newest and most recent is the "D" lock,and I don't think that there has been a failure of it.

I had a Rev.E installed last week. I'll be sure to pull the fuse this time around since I'm out of warranty

Don't forget there was a "D" before "E"
