I just found an interesting web site. It lists recalls/complaints/bulletins on almost all vehicles. BEFORE I list the address I will tell you that I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SITE SENDS SPAM OR ANY OTHER E-MAILS TO YOUR SYSTEM I know it is a business site and it may well do this. I just got into it so I know I have not received any as of this minute.
