Actually that's not what I'm asking although it's a valid consideration. I need to start by understanding what "
recoded" means. I called the garage that the carfax has listed doing the work. I talked to someone there who remembers the car but didn't know what it meant.
As for replacing the lock cylinder(s). I'm inclined to think this is the repair known to be a problem with the steering lock getting stuck and not allowing the key to be turned easily or at all.
I do thank you for your reply.
