All life time safety recalls are done at the dealer no matter how old the truck. They will repair the car for free if the recall has not been done.
There are more recalls on our trucks. The D50 has a recall on the idler arms. The Mighty Max has brake problems.
Use the search engine. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchSafetyIssues
Use the search to find out what yours has. By law the dealer MUST replace the part free of charge if the recall has not been done to the truck. If it has already been done then that's where the liability ends. But it must be a safety related item. Things like the AC are not covered by the life time recall.
The law also states the parts must be made
