I know that links like this have been posted in the past, but ran into this while searching for something for my SIL last night, so thought I'd post it for those that want to know.

Note that this site does not post the whole recall notice and also only has the NHTSA reference number for each recall, not the actual company recall number. Both of these are typical. If you want to know more about a specific recall, contact your nearest factory dealer.

BTW, this particular page link happens to be for the 1997 Bonneville SE. I wonder why?....hmmmmm... :?

Mine doesnt seem to safe... How would I know if mine was replaced? -Nick

Call your local dealer and/or have it inspected. They'll tell you.

Ya, any dealer can tell you if it'* been done. Tell them your VIN over the phone and they can look it up for you.

That'* true!

If there is ever any question regarding your car, you can call your dealer with your VIN number or take it in and they can tell you what recalls exist for your car and also if that item was fixed on your particular vehicle.

this reminds me... i still havent done my FPR recall yet....
