For all of you who have not received the recall notice from Daimler Chrysler they may not have you in their database. I just called 1-800-853-1403 and stayed on the line and told them my name and address for mine as they did not have anyone listed for my VIN, hence the reason why I didn't get a recall notice. They go out every 6 months so if you call and let them know you own the car you should get the notice next time they go out. For service before then he says any dealership you go to should have the recall in their database from entering your VIN. If you go to a dealership and they say they know nothing about it, give them the 800 number and tell them they need to go and find out about it then.
Also, someone mentioned in this thread or the other about the dealer wanting to charge $80 to remove the transfer case because he had a modified exhaust. Assuming he had a downpipe which most people do, they are exactly the same bolt up as a stock downpipe which do rust out occasionally, so tell them bull crap, there is no difference in removal procedures and if you have to contact home office to do their job it will reflect badly on their service department but they shouldn't put it past you to do it.
