I HAVE A 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE THAT WAS RECALLED FOR FRONT CONTROL ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINTS BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2000. HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE JAGUAR DEALER TO GET REPLACED BECAUSE MINE IS DEFECTIVE THE DEALER TOLD ME MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IS THERE A SPECIFIC REASONING BEHIND HAVING CERTAIN VIN#'S RECALLED AND NOT OTHERS? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF MY VIN CAN ALSO BE INCLUDED BECAUSE PER THE DEALER MY CAR IS IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY OF MALFUNCTIONING WHILE I'M DRIVING WHICH COULD END IN AN ACCIDENT THAT CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH. CAN YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO MY EMAIL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR
