On jan. 4,2019 i was advised to provide my mechanic here in ketchikan the recall info, i did, and have him order the parts, i would have to pay for installation, then forward the invoice to kendall ford in wassilla for reimbursement. Feb. 26,2019 called my mechanic, he stated he had got any response. Feb. 28, receved call from mechanics office, she had talked to kendall ford in wassilla, informed no procedure in place yet for remote locations, but expected something in place within a month or so. She asked me to call her on apr. 1,2019 unless she called before that. 1apr. Called mechanics office, i was informed she had talked to kendall ford in anchorage on mar. 29,2019.
