1989 Dodge Dynasty Complaints

VEHICLE HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL FROM GASKET INTO AC COMPRESSOR, WE HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE AND IT STILL LEAKS. RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE IS A RECALL FOR IT 89V237000 THAT DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM EXACTLY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO RESEARCHED MY VIN AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNAFFECTED. I WOULD ASSUME THAT IF MY VEHICLE FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM EXACTLY, THEN IT SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR
