FRONT BUMPER BOLTS MISSING. FOUND RECALL 94S79 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. LOWER RIGHT BUMPER RETENTION CLIP IS BROKEN. CONTACTED VALLEY FORD. OASIS DID NOT LIST ACTIVE RECALL AGAINST MY VEHICLE. NO GREEN PAINT ON BUMPER TO INDICATE FACTORY CORRECTION. VALLEY FORD SERVICE MANAGER (VERY NICE LADY) INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL. SHE ASKED ME "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?". I TOLD HER "NEVER MIND I'LL FIX IT MYSELF". CHECKED ON PARTS AVAILABILITY WITH PARTS DEPARTMENT. PARTS AVAILABLE COST $1.03. PARTS MAN AND I BOTH COMMENT ON LOW COST. FORD USUALLY CHARGES AT LEAST $3/BOLT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT OASIS DID NOT LIST THIS VEHICLE IN RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURE IS EXACTLY AS DETAILED IN THE RECALL. *AK
