I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM MITSUBISHI MOTORS IN JULY OF 2015. THE NOTICE IS REGARDING A DEFECT WITH THE ANTILOCK BREAKING SYSTEM HYDRAULIC UNIT. THE LETTER SAYS I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE PARTS ARE NOT READING I AM STILL ON A WAIT LIST. WHEN OPERATING THE CAR SOMETIMES THE BREAKS GO QUITE FAR DOWN TOWARDS THE FLOOR. IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR THESE PARTS GIVEN THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE BRAKES.
