A stopper device for vehicle comprising:
- a movable member rotatable together with a steering wheel;
- a swing lever capable of swinging in a direction in which the movable member is locked;
- a solenoid that comprises a plunger coupled to the swing lever and a magnetizing coil to drive the plunger, and that moves the plunger backwardly by magnetization of the magnetizing coil to cause the swing lever to swing in the locking direction;
- a first pushing member that pushes the swing lever in n unlocking direction relative to the movable member;
- and
- a second pushing member that pushes the plunger n a forward-movement direction,
- wherein, with the magnetizing coil not being magnetized, when either one of the first pushing member or the second pushing member becomes malfunction, the wring lever is capable of swinging in the unlocking direction.
