Recalls expire date - any car in general

[kangavxss]

Tried to search for this answer but no go.
How long is a vehicle manufacturer recall valid for ( in general for all cars)
And if a recall has not been carried out on a used car, can you still get it done at no cost by the relevant manufacturer/ dealer..
Thanks..

if the recall is for safety reasons, i would assume no expiry date

Yeah, thanks, forgot to mention that it was for safety reasons..like brakes, lpg leak etc..

If the dealer says no then take it up with Holden customer care , the dealers are just the service agents for the manufacturer and very good at deflecting issue just like this , yes some recalls do have time limits set to be completed in or by , which may be set by governing bodies some are open ended and must be completed when the car/s is returned for service until all affected vehicles have been checked wether it be by the first owner or the second or third etc etc , recall campaigns are carried out often and vehicles logged and recall stickers applied where applicable, once the required action is under taken and repairs carried out if required .
