The clock-spring in my chrysler failed causing the air bag light to come on at times and also causing my cruise control to not work at times. My bill for repair of this failure was $191.74. I was told that this was not covered under my service contract. However I now see that their has been a recall issued for this very problem. My question is, how do I get reimbursed the $191.74? Dt
