There is a recall in effect for the seat recliner failure in 1994, 1995 and some 1993 saturns. My seat recliner failed in 1995, but my VIN is not part of the recall. I don't understand why it isn't included in the recall when it is a failed part from the same recliner manufacturer. Over the years I have asked the dealer about it a couple of times and chose not to get it fixed because it cost $250. Recently I heard about the recall and thought that finally they are aware of the problem. But my car isn't included. Why?
