I have not heard any. Some here have mentioned a TSB for the rear axle. Im not sure if that counts as something as important as a recall. Monitor http://www.alldata.com/ . I recently found this site (thanks to this board). It shows recall and TSB info.

I may be wrong, but it's my understanding that unless it's a safety issue, with many complaints and perhaps deaths, with the Gumment involved, recalls are a thing of the past. The euphemism these days for a factory screw-up is the ubiquitous Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). These are cleverly guarded little secrets that come out when your car gets towed because of a broken cormistan they KNEW was gonna fail when you had it in for service the day before yesterday. (hopefully the car would get stolen/sold/wrecked, or you got it fixed before THEY had to pay to fix it) It's like the game, May I ?, where you have to drag the information out of any manufacturer piece by excruciating piece, and I, for one, think it stinks.
Here's an example: I bought a December '03 build '04 MM in mid August. The service department knew there was a TSB on the windshield wipers, yet they let me take that car out of there, in a rain storm, knowing the wipers were crap. A set of wipers seems trivial, right? Now think about the 25,000 or more sets of bad ones, and consider the number of folks who never use the wipers or those who went of to Walleyworld and replaced them, and you'll get some idea about how the bean counters look at these issues.
Honesty, decency, intregrity? No, it's a game of screw me, screw you, and I still think it stinks.

Of all of the OASIS that I have done, There was a little one that had to do with the steering linkage. It was only a small number of Panther platform vehicles that had this. I will let you know when I run your VIN from the other thread.

Now, I have to worry about my cormistan, too ?? Maybe I'll just have it replaced along with the rebastat and the vogelator. :rofl:

I should have said TSB's, if there were a recall we would all know it. Sorry for the post, it was a little stupid on my part.
