Can you take the car to any Mitsu dealer to have it re-sealed, or do you have to take it to the dealer where you bought it from?

Just confirmed with 888-mitsu-2002....except the number they gave me was C03033H
Least I found out before I brought my car in their today anyway.
I called Mitsubishi - it doesn't apply to my EVO
I just got off the phone with Mitsubishi. They ran the last 8 numbers from my VIN as said there were no recalls for my vehicle.
So I'm a little confused with the conflicting information we are getting. The NHTSA web site says the recall applies to the Outlander.

Dale is right I called my dealer again and the recall is for the Outlander. The ones that got "recall stuff"done to the cars probably got it done just because. Until I hear from Mitsubishi themselves or I read it in the media it is all premature panic ****.
It is only for a series of cars, not all Evolutions...if they ran your VIN and no recall showed up, then you don't have to worry about it - simple as that. Personally, I called 
AND was standing right next to the service manager when he ran my VIN...so it's not "panic ****."

Dealer ran my VIN - no outstanding recalls
They printed out a sheet called a Service Vehicle Inquiry. It lists a bunch of stuff about the car and it has a place for open recalls, which is blank for my car.
I saw on another thread somebody wanted to find out the date their car was built. That is listed on the printout. My car was built on 4/11/2003.
I guess it is possible that some EVO's that were built at a different time might genuinely have a recall even though mine does not.

Dude, I swear to be a dealer here you have to be in denial. I emailed the service manager last night with the recall number and the fact that mitsubishi already told me my car was affected and he still did not believe me. I asked him to call mitsu....
I called another dealer who knew about the recall, but had no clue what the "Pit Pass" was, he even asked the service manager (I heard him talking to him while i was on the phone) and he had no idea what it was either... they wanted to charge me for a 10,000 mile service... After I explained that if they sell evo's they probably should know what the pit pass program was all about and asked him to go figure it out then call me back... he finally went and talked to the sales guys and figured out what it was and called me back.... Man I'm getting tired of having to explain things to dealers that they should already know

this is one of the lowly downsides of owning a mitsubishi product. My car has a jan. build date and I personally have not even bothered with the recall yet. Its just not worth the effort. I'm waiting for mine in the mail. These mitsubishi dealers (most of them) just plain suck in my opinion.
There are 2 of them in CT which dont even carry alignment machines...they outsource alignments to town fair tire of all places. (The last place I would EVER have touch my car)
The dealership I bought my car from....has a program where if you bring in your JD Power survey sheets into the dealership and have THEM fill it out with 10's across the board...they will give you a free gas card.
Real nice huh?
How Pathetic...

Does this recall only affect certain evo's? I just got off the phone with the dealer and they were aware of the recall, but when they ran my VIN, they said my car wasn't affected.
