DISCUSSION:
Recent changes to the ignition lock cylinder have resulted in the removal of a chamfer on the lock cylinder retaining pin. This may cause the pin to hang
up on the plastic trim ring when the lock cylinder is removed. If this situation is encountered on any of the models listed above, it may be necessary to
remove the trim ring prior to removing the lock cylinder. This is done by unseating the retaining tabs on the trim ring and removing it. The lock cylinder
can then be removed without any Interference (See Figure 1). Future models will modify the lock housing to eliminate this condition.
