Missing one genuine locking wheel nut

Hello!

I bought a set of genuine Suzuki locking wheel nuts, P.N. 990E0-59J47-000, half a year ago, and they are great. However, the package (by design) contains only four locking nuts / screws (and the key).

A picture of the set:

The set:

However, Jimny's 5th spare wheel is located on the outside of the car, and is easily accessible. In fact, it's much easier to remove than road wheels.
That means that one wheel (usually the 5th spare wheel) has to remain unsecured, because there are only four locking nuts.

I complained to my local Suzuki dealer about this obvious manufacturer's lack of design foresight, and asked if Suzuki can deliver me one more locking nut (I'm not nuts to buy one more set just for one nut!) but I have not received an answer yet.


What would be the best way to approach Suzuki with this claim?
In my opinion, it is their obvious and crucial mistake, to sell a security product set which is essentially incomplete by design.

==============

Also, another question between us here is - is every specimen of the set mutually compatible? I mean, will my key unlock your locking nuts and vice versa?
Or is every specimen of the set unique for itself (my key unlocks only my four nuts , and no one else's)?

If we are all mutually compatible, than I guess the set is not so much secure (a thief can just buy the same P.N. from Suzuki and unlock anyone's nuts)!
If so, does anyone have one locking nut extra to give or sell?

those in your pic look exactly the same as mine, and yes only 4 in a set

there is a locking nut on my rear spare, but it's a different key pattern, I'd assumed it came from the showroom with it on, but maybe the previous owner had put it on ?

good luck getting a freebie from Mr Suzuki

Did you not look at the set before buying them? It's clear from the pictures that there are only 4. If you wanted 5 you should have bought a set with 5 in.

I very much doubt they will be able to supply a single nut that uses the same key as your existing set.

I knew very well that I will receive only four nuts when I intended to buy them, and I bought them.
But I had the original, 10 year old, bald Bridgestone spare tyre, so I did not care much about the spare wheel security.

I recently bought a set of 4 brand new AT tyres, and now I want to buy a 5th same AT tyre to mount it as spare, and use all five in 5-tyre rotation scheme, so now I need all five nuts.

In essence, it does not matter what spare tyre ("worthy" or "worthless") a user has on his Jimny. What matters is that Suzuki does not supply five nuts.

The big question is if every set has a unique key for that set, or if all sets with the same P.N. have the same key !?

And what if you lose one nut, can Suzuki (for a fee) deliver a replacement nut? Maybe I could obtain one additional nut by faking a lost nut?

P.S.: When I was researching for locking wheel nuts, I could not find a good quality set with five nuts. All had four + key.

P.P.S.: Halford, I am almost certain that the locking wheel nut on your spare wheel had been installed by previous owner.

i have these fitted all 5 :whistle:
