There was no incident. I received a notice from mitsubishi for the recall. The problem is/was mitsubishi didn't make easy for the consumer to have the recall issue fixed.

It was done there is also a recall on the transmission, I don't remember for what. I received a letter saying nothing would be done unless something broke.
