2001 Mazda B-Series Truck Driver assistance Problems

I CONTACTED HERITAGE MAZDA IN TOWSON MD TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED. AFTER BEING TRANSFERRED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES, THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE HARNESS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A FEW YEARS. I CONTACTED MAZDA CORPORATE DIRECT AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I FEEL THAT HERITAGE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE FIX AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO WHY THEY WILL NOT FIX A RECALL ITEM FOR MY TRUCK?
