I'm just glad to hear you're buying one. It's simple to install. I wish everyone would get one!

Thunder Racing about $50.00. Also, I would post on the For Sale Forum you want to buy one. I would suspect there are some folks who got the recall done and are now selling their locks. I saw one posted For Sale yesterday.

OK. I've read the recall; but can someone fill me in on what exactly the problem is or can be? And then what the fix is?

Thanks in advance.

So column lock is not a matter of "if" its "when"?

I'm terrified of the whole column lock issue so I guess I really need to purchase the bypass kit.
