I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR MY VEHICLE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECOMMENDING THAT I TAKE IT IN TO GET IT FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FREE OF CHARGE. IT EXPLAINS THAT ANY ADDED WEIGHT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM KEY RING EXCEPT CAR KEY. AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR, BEFORE THE PART HAD BEEN RECALLED, I HAD MULTIPLE KEYS ON MY KEY RING, AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WENT OUT, AND I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. SEEING HOW THIS PART HAS NOW BEEN RECALLED, I WOULD LIKE SOME KIND OF REFUND FOR HAVING TO REPLACE THIS PART WHICH IN THIS RECALL NOTICE SAYS IT WOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE, IF IT HAD BEEN CAUGHT IN TIME BEFORE IT HAD ALREADY BROKE. I BELIEVE I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR IT ALSO. THANK YOU *TR
