“I'm having a problem with my right front tire hub being damaged noticed a recall however when I looked at my VIN number it did not come up. Can someone please look into this as it is very costly for me to fix and I'm not the original owner so therefore I would like to find out if this hub problem with axel was ever fixed I also had a problem with the gas line in the past and noticed there is a recall for that which I did not have listed under my VIN number either can someone please write me back and let me know if this is something that would be covered. …”
