Was there a service bulletin and or a factory recall on the suspension components for the 1995 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon?

Try this link at the alldata.com website. They list the TSB's, but to actually get ahold of them you need a membership. But this is a start. Didn't know the engine you've got - so you have to select it at this link. http://www.alldata.com/TSB/951021_en.html I don't think there was. I just looked on consumerreports.org (which I pay for) and they don't have one listed. What suspension parts do you mean? VBD Iwould do a google for listed recall I looked and this is the only thing close to a suspension/handling issue: Component Description:

According to NHTSA, manufacturers are only required to fix vehicles free of charge for up to ten years. After that, the "statute of limitations" expires and consumers are legally on their own, and responsible for implementing the fix themselves.

Is there a recall for Pontiac 2004 Vibe?

I recently received (May 2008) a recall notice from GM about the bolts in the front doors that attach the window to the window regluator. A defect has been noted that could result in the glass shattering and causing injury. I would recommend that you contact GM to see if your car is included in this recall and for additional details.

The shotguns were sold in Sears stores and through its catalog as the "J.C. Higgins Bolt Action 12-Gauge Model 10 Shotgun" during the 1950s. It was carried under a number of product numbers: 583.13, 583.14, 583.15, 583.16, 583.17, 583.18, 583.19, 583.20, 583.21 and 583.22. The product model number is engraved on the barrel of the shotgun.

Have there been any recalls on any Little Tykes Toys products?

"Yes, there have in fact been quite a few recalls on the Little Tykes Toys products. At least 9 products have been recalled for safety hazards and such."

Do you have to be the original owner of a vehicle for the recall to stay in effect?

No. It is incumbent on the manufacturer to identify and rectify all roadworthy vehicles that have a potential safety issue. Of course, it is more difficult for the manufacturer to find vehicles that have changed ownership, if the subsequent owners do not get their servicing done by a main dealer. In those cases the manufacturer contacts the DMV (VOSA in UK) and chases the vehicle ownership through them. To short circuit the process you can look on the manufacturers website to see if there are any outstanding recalls pertaining to your model. Your local dealer should be able to look up your VIN on their system to see if any recalls are outstanding for your vehicle.

Are Jif and Skippy peanut butters on the recall list?

Look on the FDA website for the latest on the recall list.

The recalled product list continues to grow, and the FDA is the only real source for that information.

Regarding Most Peanut Butter scares:

Let us consider the facts to remove the irrational fear.

Salmonella:

1) probably the most common cause of food borne illness.

2) CARRIED by almost 20 percent of people (bacteria lives in their intestines without causing symptoms)

3) present on almost every surface in the average home at low levels

4) does not typically survive at a pH below 5.5 (adults have a stomach pH of 2-3, or 3-5 after a large meal; infants tend to have a pH of 4-5 for the first 6 months of life)

5) does not survive 131* F for 60 minutes, 140* F for 30 minutes, 167* F for 2 minutes

Salmonellosis:

1) caused by proliferation of salmonella in the gastric tract

2) less than 0.029% fatal in the US (1% in undeveloped countries)

3) fatality is usually caused by dehydration

This information is provided to remind people that salmonella in your peanut butter is not a real hazard, unless you eat gorge on it negating your body's stomach acid protection. Children should eat smaller portions of all raw or ready-to-eat foods since these are more likely to be contaminated at higher levels than food prepared in the home.

Don't believe the hype. News is all about fear-mongering. You are more likely to die from an accidental overdose of vitamin supplements than from salmonella in your peanut butter.
