Completed full diagnosis at Vann York BUICK Gmc [XXX] after failing NC Inspection on XXX. Provided service fee of 202.00 approx. And was provided a list of services that required immediate attention. The service mechanic advised there were no recalls. The vehicle has failed twice since I picked it up from the dealership XXX due to a fuel issue. Once on XXX and at 7:45pm today XXX. My concern is that the recalls was not brought to my attention. I conveyed to dealership today after the failure on XXX the fuel filter was replaced. I inquired about the diagnostic today as well prior to the vehicle failing not sure if the part for the recalls is causing this issue but it would be such a relief to know the dealership should have caught the recall. Thank you for your service. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6);
