Subject: reverse light switch

          A friend of mine with a '90 silver A package had to have her
          reverse light switch replaced to pass Virginia state
          automotive inspection.  She was charged $100 by Rosenthal
          Mazda in Arlington, a rather notorious dealer that I won't
          go near.

          I told her I thought this was a "recall" item and that the
          dealer should have replaced the switch free of charge.

          When she confronted Rosenthal's service manager, he said
          that the recall item was a "shim" and that the switch would
          only have been replaced free under warranty.

          What's the truth?

          Thanks.
