Hmmm! Never received a recall notice, which was sent in June. I bought the car on the last day of May, so I may not have been in their database by then. Car was in dealership in February, and presumably was tested. Car was later recalled for another issue, possible defective wiring under the driver's seat. Dealer took care of that (I hope) at no charge. Am I a skeptic? Yes. I had a 2007 Chevrolet Impala where the rear tires slanted to the point where they wore on the inside and a car behind me followed me until he could tell me about it. There WAS a recall (I received no notice), but only for police cars of that same model. I had previously replaced the tires for that problem, but was not made aware of the defect. I was told they could not adjust the alignment, so the dealer told me he drilled holes somehow to allow alignment. Whatever they did didn't work because the tires were again wearing on the inside. Of course, the police cars were repaired. Their lives were presumably more important.
