I REPLACED MY ABS PUMP MOTOR ON MY 1991 JEEP CHEROKEE IN OCTOBER 2006. MOPAR PART NUMBER R2007515. THE PART HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 96V260000. I HAVE SENT NUMEROUS SUBMISSIONS TO BE REIMBURSED AND EVERYTIME THEY FIND SOME EXCUSE NOT TO PAY. THEY CLAIM IT WAS REPAIRED IN 2001, I HAVE THE DEALER INVOICE STATING THAT ABS ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED. MOPAR PART NUMBER R4746415, NOT THE ABOVE MENTIONED PUMP. THE LAST TIME I SUBMITTED MY PAPER WORK IN SEPTEMBER. THEY CLAIMED NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIND THIS RECALL DESPITE ME GIVING THEM THE RECALL NUMBER BOTH THE NHTSA # AND CHRYSLER RECALL #702. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. ANY HELP I CAN RECEIVE FROM YOU WOULD BE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS. THANK YOU. *TR
