ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

oly370z · 03-26-2013, 01:20 PM

Thought I would let everyone know that I received in the mail last night my service campaign recall notice for the electronic steering lock. Keep and eye out for yours in the mail and make sure your car is registered with Nissan. You should be able to go into your local Nissan dealership and let them know you have that year vehicle that has the problem and they will replace it free of charge. If you had to pay to have it replaced you just have to have Nissan confirm its the updated part and call the North American Nissan number to receive reimbursement. 1-800-647-7261. Make sure you have your VIN handy.Its about time they recalled this stupid part.

Called my local dealership this morning to confirm that my car's VIN is part of the recall. Indeed it is, and I'm bringing it in at 10:30 for the work.

The work was done in about two hours, and that was the recall and an oil change. The dealership was very helpful. Saw a brand new 2013 still in plastic.

Ive decided im not going to waste my time having it replaced cause i already pulled the fuse.

is anyone else planning on skipping this voluntary recall work?

If you decide to put the fuse back in, is there any procedure you have to follow?
Or can you just put the fuse back when the power is off.

thanks.

Yeah just put it back in.

I'd almost drive to the dealer, pop the hood, put it back in, then hand the car off.

Or just let them do it.

my recall-swap took less than an hour

ocfoilist · 04-04-2013, 04:21 AM

So mine went out at 56,782 miles on 11/06/2012 and had to have it towed to my dealer, who replaced the steering lock assembly for $973. The new part number was 48700-JF00D.

Fast forward to this month when I called Nissan to see if they would honor a full refund for me as there was a voluntary recall on the part. I am still in that process but it looks like they are going to do so. While on the phone, the rep told me that I needed to go to the dealer and have my steering lock replaced again since the part that they replaced my original one with (48700-JF00D) was also defective.

So yesterday I took it into the dealer and they replaced my lock mechanism once again, this time with part #D8700-JF00D and for no charge.

Does anyone know what the difference is and what rev this newest part is? Do I assume from the "D" in the first part of the number that is is rev D?

Those are very possibly the same part. From what I have noticed about other part numbers, the D and the 4 at the beginning mean the same (D is 4th letter of alphabet).
The revision code is the last letter. 48700-JF00D D8700-JF00D.

Thanks for the info. The dealer seemed to make it very clear that I needed to replace 48700-J00D with D8700-J00D so I'm a bit confused. I asked him what revision of part they were using and he didn't seem to know; he referred me his bulletin that identified the new part number that was supposed to be used. Hmm...

Maybe there is a difference, but I'm doubtful. I'd be willing to bet a shiny new dime (0.10 USD) that they are the same part. But I'm no expert on Nissan's part numbering scheme. Parts and service are often two different departments so your service guy may not be an expert on part numbers either.

Well u seei own a 09 370z and it doesnot work due to an accident but I still own it. Just un drivable. I need things to help get it back on the road

Just an update. I called Nissan about this recall today and it does not apply to my 2010. I have an 08/10 build with Rev C in it. I believe there were a couple others that had 06/10 builds that this recall didn't cover either. I'm not concerned as I have my fuse pulled- but wanted to let you guys know it apparently does not apply to all 2010 Zs.

Yours was probably built in 09 or very early 2010. Build date is on the sticker in the door.
