you say it is locked even while off? I would disconnect the linkage from the servo and see if you can move the servo while it is all turned off... if so it may have just overtraveled a bit and gotten stuck.....
try this before turning in a warranty claim if it does not fix it then it is possible the servo just failed, in that case you will need to contact their warranty department and see what they want you to do.....

check to make sure you didn't pick up a pebble or anything in the steering linkage that could bind it up. You can remove the servo horn from the servo and see if the servo itself can move from right to left.

With a little force while rotating the wheels forward he took a snap and went to work, then I ran some more and it happened again, I was walking slowly and moderate in grass :s

That happened to mine as well. As it turned out, my steering servo had stripped a few teeth.

That's what happened to mine. I recommend you open the servo up and have a look.
