On another forum in which I am on, someone asked a good question, they wanted to know if they could put in the VIN number on the NHTSA and get recalls. I had to look it up. I have done it by Manufacture, but was wondering if it is a recall on something like a microwave, if it would have it? So will try this and see. The way I read it was, what ever the manufacturer put in it. At times, I wonder. 

Thank you Craig for the updates. I do get them, but it’s nice someone takes the time to post them. Thank you again.
