After bringing my car into the dealer for recall service I found that the dealer had not performed some of the work. The dealer did not address NHTSA campaign id number : 03V006000, which is about the wheel bolts. The dealer said that since I had moved to Florida the recall was not valid even though it is nationwide. The vehicle came from Ohio and had steel wheels in Ohio during the winter. The dealer should replace the bolts but have put me in danger instead.
