I received a safety recall notice by mail from Mitsubishi motors sales of caribbean on June, I call to a dealership they told me that I have to wait my turn and to wait the inflator to be available, we are in August and still no notice, I call them today and they told me I have to wait my turn, I called to another dealership and they told me they are taking only one car daily and the list is longer. They are extremely slow, other manufacturers are more proactive, but this is taking to long to resolve the defect.
