“I received a recall notice in the beginning of december 2016 that concerning windshield wiper link seperation. It is now 3 months and I am still being told by Mitsubishi customer service that they still don't have the part to correct the problem. I think I have been more than patient after waiting 3 months. The manufacturer recall number is sr-16-009 and the NHTSA recall number is 16v791. I hope you can help me get this resolved.”
