Not sure - it's not my normal go-to repair for expensive car locks! Just curious to know if you had tried it.

The lock is mechanical and usually requires some form of lubrication. It's a bad idea to spray the *wrong* kind of lube in there, as it makes the lock worse (attracting dirt etc.) but if it's already jamming, what have you got to loose?
