Well, hopefully the Mitsu dealer doesn't try to screw you over. I can easily see them saying screw off because it's been so long and you never properly addressed issue. But a good dealer will recognize their error and correct it at no cost to you. Good luck.
In the meantime, I wonder if pulling the fuse to the ESCL (steering lock) might be a good idea.
