One of the most important things to know when you get a safety recall is that you do not have to pay for any repairs. The safety recall has come as a result of an oversight on the part of the manufacturer. Therefore, you want to make sure that you are taken care of fairly.
If a dealer tries to charge you for the repair, then the next step is to try to get in contact with the manager and let them know what the situation is. The best bet is that they drop the charges and let you have the repair from the recall.
In the case that they insist on charging you for the repair, the next step is contacting the manufacturer. This will hopefully clear up everything. One important thing to make sure is that the dealer that has repaired your vehicle is an authorized dealer.
