YACT: Is it possible to get a replacement wheel lock?

[tnitsuj]

I just got my vehicle back from someone who had been taking care of it for a few months. However, the wheel lock that I had in the cupholder in the center console is gone. Her answer..."oh that thing it was in the way of my coffee cup so I threw it away. "

It was a Honda OEM wheel lock and now I have no way to get my wheels off if I get a flat. Can a dealer get me another one?

Yes. But itll cost you. They are usually specially made for the wheel so it might be anywhere up to 40 bucks!

I'm sure Honda might be able to pull one up. I can't imagine that they have that many sequences for the locks, though. But, going to the dealer will not be a cheap option.

You will need the serial number they provided you when you first got the locks. Then you take that to the dealer and bend over. I don't believe Honda dealers use lube (cost cuttings), so bring your own.

Check your manual, if you got the locks with the car. They may have put a sticker on the cover.

Try the VIN number. Thats the number right in front of your dash . Check from outside your car

I don't think the VIN number has anything to do with the wheel locks they put on it.

You could try it, but I have never seen that before, but I have never done anything with Honda OEM locks before, either.
