Some dealerships tried to get away with "inspecting" the area. If they just inspected the area they screwed you. The recall states that all parts involved must be immediately replaced at no cost to the consumer. No Joe Bob mechanic can look at a piece of steel and see if it's structurally sound or not.

So take it back, get them REPLACED and don't let them give you crap.

If they already replaced them then I don't know
