I HAVE A 1984 CHEVY CORVETTE THAT HAS THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR JAMMED. I FOUND THE RECALL IN YOUR DATABASE (91V143 CAMPAIGN #91C26). I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T SERVICE RECALLS OVER 10 YEARS OLD AND CAN'T GET THE PART ANYWAY. I CALLED THE 1-800-222-1020 GM NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE INFO FOR CARS OVER 10 YEARS OLD, SO THEY HAVE NO WAY TO VERIFY IF THIS IS OPEN FOR ME. MY VIN NUMBER IS CLEARLY WITHIN THE BREAKPOINTS AND I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT THAT GM HAD TO HONOR SAFETY RECALLS AND THEY DIDN'T EXPIRE EVER. NOW MY PASSENGER HAS NO WORKING SEATBELT. *TR
