Filed Sep 28, 2009 · Seats · ID

Recently I bought this vehicle and realize that both the front seats' back mechanisms will not latch. From the federal safety agency campaign id no.: 93v035000, I understand that there is a safety recall for this vehicle. I proceed to a local authorize dealer but through VIN no. Information that I provided, I was told that there isn't any recall for this vehicle. Please advise on this.
