Consumer Description

TODAY I RECEIVED A THIRD (3RD) RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR MY 2009 SMART FOUR TWO COUPE REAR ENGINE INSULATION MAT. THE NOTICE STATES THE CURRENT MAT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRE. EACH TIME I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER (55 MILES DISTANT) THEY HAVE INFORMED THEY ARE OUT OF STOCK OF THIS ITEM. I'VE ASKED THEM TO NOTIFY ME WHEN THE ITEM IS IN STOCK. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS APPARENT FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO INSTALL THIS EASY FIX IF THEY WOULD SEND ME THE INSULATION PAD ITSELF.
