Removal of Steering Wheel Locks Not Required in Touring

#36856 from Robert Maples · No action required · Minutes (2024-12 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. In many modern Touring cars, deactivating the steering wheel lock isn't as easy as it was in the old
days. Many cars will have electronic safety systems that will not allow the car to operate unless all parts of the steering wheel
lock operates exactly as designed. Naturally, there is nothing preventing you from deactivating your own. Given the redundant
safety features in many modern cars, we feel that the risk of failure is very low.
