Default Recalls question

I was reading my insurance quote info a few minutes ago and I realized that there were a few recalls on the RR dating from 1994 - 1998. My RR is a 1996 and I know the previous owners never brought the car in for what it was recalled for. The dates for the recall were in DEC 2000, JAN 1999 and JUL 1998. The question is, is it too late for me to get the RR in for these recalls?? [>:]

Here are the recall informations:
Recall Number: 98V149000
Dates Manufactured: OCT 1994 to MAY 1998
Number of Vehicles Affected: 22870
Date Owners Notified On: JUL 1998
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. Certain underhood hose and tubing components can fail allowing fluid to leak, such as engine coolant, windshield wiper fluid, and automatic transmission fluid.

-----------------------------

Recall Number: 99V007000
Dates Manufactured: OCT 1994 to AUG 1998
Number of Vehicles Affected: 20426
Date Owners Notified On: JAN 1999
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. As a result of water ingress and subsequent ice blockage, the transmission breather tube can become clogged, expelling transmission fluid from the dipstick tube onto hot engine components

-----------------------------

Recall Number: 00V328000
Dates Manufactured: OCT 1994 to AUG 1998
Number of Vehicles Affected: 25033
Date Owners Notified On: DEC 2000
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. Coolant system leaks have been identified in areas where the coolant could be subjected to elevated temperatures

you should be able to take it into a dealer and they will check if you even need the work done, most cases if you havent had to have the things fixed by now they will prolly tell you its not a concern.

The windshield washer fluid is dripping through one of the air vents in the car, I'm going to contact one of the stearlerships here to see what they can do for me, if nothing I will start by changing all the hoes under the hood and one a time repair anything else under the hood.

Geez.. the guy who owned the car before me mistreated her so badly!! [:@]

Sam,

Recalls AND Service Actions are covered under the Manufactures warranty for the life of the vehicle. I hope you will be pleasantly surprised by the service you receive from your local LR dealer. They are in the business of providing exceptional customer service, unlike domestic stealerships. If you want, BM me your VIN # and I can check. Don't post your VIN, too much info.

Sam, Your vehicle has no open recalls or service actions to date. If you are getting fluid from your vents, most likely the AC drains are clogged.
