Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1996 acura 2.5tl. a couple days ago while driving my passenger side wheel collapsed due to the lower ball joint breaking. i conducted research to see if there had been a recall on that part ,and in fact there was. the problem im facing is that it only covered certain vehicles with certain vin numbers([xxx].... through [xxx]...)my vin # is [xxx]. i understand that my vehicle doesn't fall within those numbers but i experienced the same problem and don't think i should have to pay if in fact this is the same defect that happened to all those other vehicles. *nlm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
