Received recall from MINI USA May 2023 -??Safety Recall footwell control module 23V-337. Update May 2024 -??remedy being developed-??. I-??m unable to have a mini dealership confirm safety of my veh as there are no dealerships in State of Maine, closest in Peabody MA 1.5 hrs away. It-??s going on 1 yr & no remedy on the horizon" I called Mini USA hotline and they can-??t help. This is unacceptable. Are they required to resolve in a timely manner? Should they be required to buy my veh back as it wouldn-??t pass inspection & unable to drive?" Please provide next steps. Thank you
