1976 PLYMOUTH VOLARE User Comment / Complaint

I just purchased a used vehicle and attempted to confirm with the dealership in my town if safety recalls had been done, this is a 1976 chrysler volare with myself and my wife being the second owners. the person at the dealership refused to do any research and stated that "he had been working at the dealership since 1981 and they were not required to correct safety recalls free of charge." what options do i have. all we wanted was to find out if the recalls had been corrected and if not to have them done.
