“Per emissions recall # 556 the oygen sensor was replace on 02-08-95. The rest of the recall components were examined and deamed fine. It is now that the exhaust manifold nuts and bolts are failing and chrysler does not think that they/chrysler should need to replace them. I am trying to get answers in terms of if all these components were stated in the recall because they fail, why were they not all replaced at the time of original service and now that they are failing now, shouldn't it still be covered under the recall? …”
