“I received the recall notice 7914j, campaign #15v-345 & 15v-382, in august of 2015. I called the local dealership, lester glen Mazda in toms river, nj on 8/13/15. They told me they would order the part and call within a week to schedule an appointment to install the recall part. I called again on 9/16/15 and they told me they were still waiting for the part from Mazda, that the parts hadn't been shipped because of some issue on Mazda's end. It is now 10/16/15 and I still have not received a call from the dealership and the part still has not arrived.”
