I noticed some post bout the 2007 recalls does anyone know about recalls for the 08? do any of those 07 recalls apply or were the issues taken care of before the 08's came out?

Check out "Recalls" at: http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/ (left colum).

Enter last 8 digit of your VIN#, and it will tell you if your JK has recall or not.

haha, if it doesn't work the first time when entering that VIN, don't get frustrated. i had to keep entering/refreshing that page with the SAME THING about 3-4 times until it processed my vehicle!

Default Automatic Notification

Does anybody remember whether DC's automatic notification is more/less timely than what you can see if you hit this site with your VIN? It's be pretty straightforward to hack a script to check daily and email a notification if the online page is more timely then the official snail-mail notification.

My JK is relatively new and hasn't had a recall yet -- if someone would be willing share a VIN with a recall, I could start looking at what the web page content looks like and hack a "How's Waldo" automatic notifier to go along with Where's Waldo...

Well lets just say DC's update is just fking great! Mine had a recall and their website didn't show sh*t for my vin and I never got a letter either. I found out through here and took mine in.

From my experience I find this site to be timlier than DC. I knew about a recall here first and had it taken care of at the dealer before the notice came in the mail....

Can someone with a recall give How's Waldo a test run and let me know if you get the recall notice? Once this is validated, I can enable the subscribe/unsubscribe notification part... Suggestions?
