“Regarding NHTSA recall id: 02v143001 for the transfer case on the 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT vr-4. My car's transfer case began leaking about 100 miles ago. Through my car club I was informed that there was a safety recall issued on this and to call the dealer. I called the dealer to see when I could schedule my repair and they asked for my VIN#. When they ran the VIN# they found out that the previous car owner took the car in dec. Of 2002 and the transfer case passed inspection so the safety recall was no longer available for my car. …”
