I received a recall notice in oct 2014 about the fobik on our t&c. The dealer did not have the repair parts at that time. I have called the dealer (tristar indiana, 404 north 4th st, indiana, pa 15701) several times over the intervening months and they still said they did not have the parts. I called today (2/2/2015) and still no parts. I am requesting some intervention so that this repair is made now. Electrical system · reported at 52,000 miles
