THIS IS ABOUT AN ALREADY EXISTING RECALL FOR MAZDA 1998-2002 B-SERIES CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH SAFETY RECALL 4707H. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MAZDA REPRESENTATIVE SEVERAL TIMES.

I HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY JUST TO GET THE PART SENT TO ME WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE AND I WILL HAVE IT FIXED LOCALLY.

IF THIS IS TRUE THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION WHO JUST ARE NOT GOING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND CONTINUE DRIVING THERE TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DISTANCE TO THE NEAREST DEALER IS TO GREAT AND DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WHEN THE PART COULD BE SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO THEM AND INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ASE MECHANIC.
