I purchased a 1998 Dodge Dakota SLT with 91K miles I took it in for an oil change and was notified that the frame was seriously rusted under the passengers door and could break at any time. Is there any recalls that you know of for the frame. Do you know if the frames are covered for the lifetime of the truck. I don't know if any of these recalls have been fixed on this truck is there a time limit for those repairs? Thanks
