TAKATA RECALL: I DON'T KNOW IF I'M DOING THIS RIGHT BUT MY CAR'S WARNING SYSTEM ALERTED ME THAT THE ESC WAS TURNED OFF AND TO "SERVICE ESC", THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, NEVER STATIONARY.IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT ONE THAT IS MENTIONED AS A RECALL FOR MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN I GET NO ALERTS ON RECALLS FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE BUT WANTED TO BE SIRE IT WASN'T SKIPPED OR MISSED. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON SO IF I DID NEED RECALL WORK THEN I WOULD NEED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE WORK DONE ON MY CAR SINCE A DEALERSHIP WOULDNT DO THE WORK FOR FREE WITHOUT A RECALL NOTICE.
